His piece Forme del Mito was displayed at Brisbane's World Expo '88 and was later bought by Brisbane City.
In 1999 he founded Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro in Milan as a centre to whose aim is to document and archive Pomodoro's work . The foundation opened an exhibition space in 2005, and it now displays exhibitions of renowned artists such as Jannis Kounellis, Lucio Fontana and Robert Rauschenberg. Flaminio Gualdoni is the current director of Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro. The Court of the Pigna constitutes the northern end of the great renaissance Belvedere Courtyard that extended from the Papal Palaces to Innocent VII's palazzetto and was subsequently divided into three parts with the construction of Sixtus V's Library and the Braccio Nuovo of Pius VII.
