Del Debbio became unfashionable during the 1970s, seen as "reactionary" because of his associations with fascism. However, in 2007, a retrospective exhibition took place at the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna in Rome, displaying his skills at combining classic and modern, detailing and geometry, materials and colours.[1]
