"Baroque Clouds. They fan in multicolored layers – blue, purple, gray, gold – where we can effortless imagine that fantastic worlds inhabited by ethereal entities can hide."

In the early 1990s he opens a studio in Piacenza. The 1996 opens with his first solo-artist exhibition nearly entirely consisting of landscapes. The clouds become the real protagonists of his paintings: he becomes the "pittore delle nuvole" ("cloud painter"). In this period he works with the Bugno Art Gallery in Venice; in 1998 the Braga Art Gallery in Piacenza mounts an extensive solo-artist exhibition of his works. In January 2000 the Bugno Art Gallery organizes an extensive solo-artist exhibition of his works. In the same year UN Ambassador Gerti Tauchhammer organizes the "Society Redaktionfest" in Vienna and Bertodi's works are exhibited along with those by artist Ernst Fuchs in an important exhibition. The year 2006 is characterized by an extensive retrospective exhibition, edited by Beatrice Buscaroli, at the Museo di Villa Breda, in Padua. The catalogue includes, among others, texts by Ruggero Pierantoni, Luca Mercalli, Gherardo degli Azzoni Avogadro, Maurizio Agnellini and poet Alda Merini. Numerous exhibitions follow: a solo-artist exhibition at the London Great Art Fair, a retrospective exhibition at the Museo-Fondazione "Un Paese". He exhibits his works at the Edinburgh Art Gallery and at the Dallas Hermitage Gallery. From 2010 his activity abroad focuses on the exclusive collaboration with the Galerie de l'Europe in Paris, which also organizes an important solo-artist exhibition of his works. In Italy Bertoldi takes part in specialist exhibitions and he regularly mounts exhibitions at the Mantua Einaudi Gallery, at the Sovilla Bookshop in Cortina and at the Galleria delle Visioni in Piacenza.
