During this time he also participated in the Italian resistance movement.

This show is known to have begun the art movement recognized as Arte Informale.

His work exerted a significant influence on the Arte Povera group.

1960

He later established a fruitful cooperation with composer Luigi Nono, designing sets and costumes for the opera Intolleranza 1960.

Nono dedicated his first work for magnetic tape Omaggio a Vedova (1960) to Vedova.
