Returns to Milan and the period of Existential Realism, through the artist Bepi Romagnoni, comes into contact with the Bergamini Gallery which he organizes in May of 1962 his first Italian solo exhibition, curated by Carlo Munari.

He progressively abandons the pictorial research and goes through many experiences with different languages, including the cinematographic one: realizes, indeed, in 1972 due Super 8, "Doprenoi" and "Diutop".
