experimental (noted in an article by Roberto Longhi), Child at table, Venetian women, Old woman eating and Fruit seller, the latter lost but noted by Orio Vergani in a 1919 article, and all shown that year in the solo show “Post-Impressionist and Futurist,” presented by Margherita Sarfatti and inaugurated by Marinetti, an exhibition replicated in June in Rome, at the Casa d'Arte Bragaglia.

During his Milan stay Notte broadens his interests, publishes drawings in Armando Mazza's weekly “I Nemici d'Italia” and in Anton Giulio Bragaglia's Cronache d'attualità, illustrates book covers for Facchi, the publisher close to the Futurists; then, thanks to Marinetti, he collaborates regularly on “Roma Futurista.” In Milan he mainly frequents Fedele Azari, Luigi Russolo, Cantarelli, Fiozzi, Dessy, Eva Kühn, thus finding himself within the circle of Italian Dadaists, publishing drawings in the Dadaist magazine “Procellaria.” Invited by Prampolini, he takes part in the Geneva Futurist Exhibition, but in “Poesia,” directed by Dessy, he publishes in trichromy “L'arrotino,” which appears as a farewell from the Marinettian avant-garde. In 1920, in Milan, from his union with the lyrical singer Ines Dell'Armi, their daughter Adriana is born.
