His vision of art is influenced by association with Atanasio Soldati, who pushes him toward the fluorescent colors and the strong impact of perception of his early works. Finzi is then in contact with Virgilio Guidi and Emilio Vedova, at the same time discovering the twelve-tone music of Schoenberg. The combination of the two disciplines makes the measure of his artistic feeling, leading to the semantics of the gesture, light, color and tone, and to the principles of optic art.
