Florence Sculture d'Arte offered him in 1975, recognising the genius in Armani, the possibility to exclusively work for them. He would be encouraged to give his muse a free run. Giuseppe Armani accepted. Armani made masterpieces, varying from traditional Capodimonte style sculptures to more daring and contemporary, sometimes capricious sculptures, for more than 20 years.
