Invited to participate in the 36th Venice Biennale in 1972, he exhibited at major venues in Italy and abroad, accompanied by influential critics of the late 20th century: Giorgio Di Genova, Enrico Crispolti, Filiberto Menna, Bruno Corà, and others. A comprehensive retrospective was presented in 2013 at the Edieuropa Gallery in Rome. Bruno Corà curated his last two solo exhibitions: “Franco Giuli: Pictorial-Sculptural Constructions and Beyond” at the Bilotti Museum in Rome in 2016, and “Structures and Surface Spaces” at the Riso Museum in Palermo in 2017.
