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. Campigli served as a foreign correspondent in Paris in 1919 before joining the “Paris Italians” artist group that also included the artists Gino Severini and Giorgio de Chirico.
