In 1921, he participated in the Salon d'Automne with the painting " L'arrotino ". In 1922, Leonce Rosenberg, a famous Parisian merchant and dealer, bought some artworks of the artist. In 1926, Campigli exhibited at the "First exhibition of Novecento" in Milan. In 1927, he could live with his paintings: he exhibited in Paris, Zurich, Dresda and Amsterdam. He took inspiration from Etruscan art for his artworks. In 1961, an important monograph was published in Paris, its name was "Les idoles de Campigli" by Andrè Chastel; some years later he was appointed Academician of San Luca.
