In 1898 he returned to Italy. He studied painting in Florence to move to Rome in 1914 when he completed his studies. At the beginning he devoted himself to the scenography for the theater and made acquaintance with the painters who worked in Rome at that time. Among them he met Picasso who decided to follow in Paris to complete and enrich his artistic background. After going to Spain, he returned to Rome where he remained for the rest of his life.
