At the beginning of 1918, Notte moved to Milan, where he often attended Margherita Sarfatti's salon of artists. He then clashed with Mussolini who, jealous of Sarfatti, saw him as a potential rival.[1]
In 1923 Notte won a competition at the Liceo Artistico di Venezia; in 1924, after winning a national award, he moved to Rome. He returned to Naples in 1929, and worked there the rest of his life. He donated many of his works to the town of Ceglie, housed in a Pinacoteca named after him.[2]
