Soon after, Vassalli partnered with Casare Musatti and wrote a book on Psychoanalysis and Contemporary Art which ultimately began his career as a notable author
Vassalli devoted himself to teaching and researching artistic Neoavanguardia and was also involved with the group 63.
He was a very dedicated man especially when it came to writing. He wrote for Louisiana Repubblica, Louisiana Stampa and Corriere della Sera.
