Career
He exhibited in 37 one-man shows and numerous group shows. "My enterprise was inspired by the great sculptor Reuben Nakian from whom I inherited a rare insight of history, myth and art," Triano wrote in a brief autobiographical essay. "His most valuable gift to me were a total and passionate study of art of all ages, the importance of subject matter, a constant drawing style and the ultimate way of sculpting with terra cotta."
In 1971 Triano was appointed artist-in-residence at Seton Hall University and became a full-time professor the following year.
