In 1939 one of his drawings was recommended by the jury of the Rome Quadrennial. It was the 1950s that saw a definitive turning point in his art towards informal abstraction. He participated in the Venice Biennale in 1950, 1952 and 1954. Between 1955 and 1965 he traveled and stayed in America and Paris in contact with the other protagonists of the 'abstract expressionism, becoming friends with, among others, Mark Rothko, Willem de Kooning and Robert Motherwel. In fact, he returned with great success to the Biennale in 1984 with a personal room. In 1991 a large anthology was dedicated to him at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome
