He was a great Italian artist, linked to the Nouveau Réalisme movement and international Pop Art. After moving to Rome, he frequented the young avant-garde formed by the exponents of the Forma 1 Group (Carla Accardi, Ugo Attardi, Pietro Consagra, Piero Dorazio, Achille Perilli, Antonio Sanfilippo, Giulio Turcato), when he began with figurative motifs and the first experiments, then began to paint abstract-geometric paintings inspired by the works of Kandinsky and Mondrian. In 1949 he devoted himself to experiments in phonetic poetry, which he called epistaltic (a neologism invented by the artist). In 1961 in Paris he joined the Nouveau Réalisme movement of Pierre Restany, and together with Hains, Villeglè and Dufrene he devoted himself to Décollage: advertising posters torn from the streets. Since the mid-1960s he has experimented with Mec Art and Artypo, works with mechanical processes on emulsified canvases and typographic prints glued onto canvas. Since the 1980s, having moved permanently to Milan, he has experimented with coverings: advertising posters covered with sheets that hide the image underneath, and then with overpaintings: décollages and film-themed sheets of metal with subsequent pictorial interventions. He is present in the major Italian, French and American art museums.
