The beginnings of his flourishing exhibition activity date back to 1880, with a series of terracottas and bronzes made to his models by Pasquale Arquati's Venetian foundry. It was thanks to these first attempts that in June 1887, when the Raja of Baroda Sayajirao III was in Venice, the Geneva architect Albert Fillion, his advisor in Europe, proposed Felici as court sculptor.
