The government of the Canton Ticino purchased several works. His last studio was located beneath the big staircase of the Italian Consulate in Lugano and in this large studio Mario created fountains, Madonnas in all sizes, saints, children, figurines in all postures, and numerous monuments for cemeteries. His was without a doubt a rising career. Slow, but constant and productive until his last day when he was taken to a local hospital in Lugano. The 19th of March in 1963, at the age of 64 he died. His works of art remain and can be admired in many European cities. Many of the works can be seen in the Museum in Pazzallo.


May this museum, dedicated to the artists Mario and wife Irma, from their daughter Claudia and her husband, be witness of their artistic talents and dedication to the arts.
