He have 94 years and live in Milan, Italy.
In 1953 Arnaldo and Giò, together with their fellow artist and close friend, Giorgio Perfetti (1932- 1961), formed the “3p” group and produced original jewels and small reliefs, which were first exhibited that year in Pesaro. The following year they moved to Milan and opened a small studio in a basement in Via Visconti Di Modrone. Here they met artists such as Enrico Baj, Sergio Dangelo, Lucio Fontana, as well as influential collectors and critics including Peggy Guggenheim and Guido Ballo who greatly appreciated their art.
