Here Maccari  published his first engravings. and after he took over the direction of the Savage which he held until 1942.  In 1959, he became the director of the  Academy of Fine Arts  in Rome; in 1963, he won Antonio Feltrinelli's prize for painting and became president of the  San Luca Academy in 1962 .
