His exhibition activity began in 1943 with his participation in the iv quadrenniale of national art. In 1948 he was present at the v quadrenniale of the national gallery of modern art in rome for the ''national review of figurative arts''.

In 1961, he exhibited at the ''le jardin des arts'' art gallery in rome; in 1965, he was present at the ix national quadrenniale of art in rome at the palazzo delle esposizioni. ''antonio vangelli's painting has always seemed to be touched by this particular kind of grace: a perennial research for the visual and musical accord between signs and colors, between ringing notes and more restful peaceful traits, between nervous thrills of the pictorial gesture and great quiet''. less
