He began a fruitful collaboration with the Sincron cultural center of Armando and Wanna Nizzi of Brescia in 1991. In 1992, he met Romano Piccichè, who published a long interview in the "Giornale di Sicilia" in August 1993.
The magazine "Brescia Ricerche" dedicated the cover of issue 12 to Guido Moretti in December 1995.
