experimental (noted in an article by Roberto Longhi), Girl at the table, Venetian Women, Old Woman Eating and Grocer, these last two lost but noted by Orio Vergani, in a 1919 article, and all exhibited that year in the solo show “Post-impressionist and Futurist,” presented by Margherita Sarfatti and inaugurated by Marinetti, a repetition of the exhibition in June in Rome, at Casa d'Arte Bragaglia.

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