He has also taken part in major art exhibitions like the Milan Biennale and the Engraving Triennial (Triennale dell’Incisione).

Throughout his career, he has created painting cycles dedicated to nocturnal landscapes, the ravines of Puglia (gravine pugliesi), and starry skies, often interpreting nature in a poetic way. His works have also been exhibited at art fairs in New York, Verona, Bologna, and in Chicago in 2025.

Addamiano is considered an important interpreter of Italian contemporary art, known for his profound relationship with light and nature.
