During his two years at the academy, he was influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites and Macchiaioli. His work was featured in numerous major exhibitions all over Italy and Europe from 1960 to 1979. Two of italy's largest publishers, Mondadori and Rizzoli, commissioned him to do book illustrations. Despite his rising success and new opportunity, he felt restricted in Milan. Seeking complete artistic freedom brought him to the United States in 1979. He was sponsored by the Borghi Gallery, where he held many shows in new York and Massachussetts. Moving to the United States would turn out to be a great challenge. His  sponsorship barely supported enough for him to feed his family. Having limited English and his method of transportation was a bicycle. After seeking employment from many people , in February of 1980, "Zebra Books" gave him a job doing a book cover. The success of his illustrations was so great that he was able to network with many prominant publishers of romance novels. His popularity blossomed within the literary community. Pino dedicated 13 years to illustrating book covers, but never lost his desire to return to fine art. His passion to create pieces that break free from outside restrictions fuelled his passion to dedicate himself to fine art again.
