Later he became interested in the production of independent exhibitions in artist studios, such as the one entitled 89/2012, or in the management of unusual spaces, such as the temporary space Da Franco (inside a barbershop in the center of Rome). .
Meanwhile, his research continues, which draws on the archaeological and natural imagery, and is expressed through drawing, printing, cyanotype, sculpture, neon.
In 2020 he founded with other artists (Dario Carratta, Marco Eusepi, Alessandro Giannì), the philosopher Giuseppe Armogida and the curator Gaia Bobò, Spaziomensa. This is the Sicilian artist Sebastiano Bottaro’s studio, which is located inside the Citylab971 (a reality, located inside the former Rome paper mill).
