Organized auctions of painting and sculpture as well as in their headquarters in Florence, during the summer, in Sicily, Sardinia and Calabria. The Gallery's publishing and exhibition activity is aimed at the service of public exhibitions in Italian and foreign Municipalities and Museums; at Villa Malpensata, on behalf of the Dicastery Museums and Culture of the city of Lugano, the Gallery organized a large exhibition of paintings and graphics in 1986. In 1998, on behalf of the Municipality of Grosseto, he organized and published the exhibition catalog to commemorate Mino Maccari - "In the centenary of his birth" - exhibition which was subsequently hosted by the Campania Region at the Palazzo Reale in Naples for its high cultural content, in Puglia, by the Province and the Municipality of Bari at the Provincial Art Gallery of that city. For the editions they are worthy of note: the beginning of the cataloging of the work of "Mino Maccari" and of the "Disegni di Ottone Rosai", the "Cataloging of all the engravings of Giovanni Fattori in the Franconi Collection" by Andrea Baboni with preface by Federico Zeri; the publication of the General Catalog of the Incisa work by Piero Dorazio (1962-1993) by Gabriele Simongini. Among his major editorial awards he received in 1983 with the volume of Carlo Betocchi "Memorie, racconti e poemetti in prosa", the Librex-Guggenheim Prize, Eugenio Montale for Poetry. For exhibitions, the most deserving exhibitions of personal interest are those organized on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of two of the most important Italian painters of the twentieth century: that of Ottone Rosai (1995), and of Filippo de Pisis (1996 ), exhibitions that due to their importance were organized under "The High Patronage of the Presidency of the Italian Republic".

In addition there are the exhibitions dedicated to "Giovanni Fattori, new contributions", (1994); in 1997 the exhibition "Macchiaioli, nuovi contribu" by Dario Durbé and those dedicated simultaneously to the "Macchiaioli" and "Antonio Puccinelli" movements, on the occasion of the centenary of the artist's death, in collaboration with the Municipality of Castelnuovo di Sotto (1998); the "Epocale" exhibition (four generations of artists and their movements in comparison): Pop, Graffiti and Cracking Art and the monographic one, dedicated to the work of Andy Warhol (1999).
