He currently works with the Italian galleries L'Arte, Molinella, Quattrocentometriquadri, Ancona, and MelePere Verona. Since 2010 he has been known as Stefano W. Pasquini.

His style has been defined "horizontal", as it's hard to define practicing in so many different styles. To quote Fabio Cavallucci: "Pasquini doesn’t worry about changing styles and contents: he goes from interactive performances – like when, for example, he dressed like Spider-Man, sitting on the floor of the streets of London – to the hard rock videos – like the one he’s in the woods stuck with his hands and feet onto the ground, shouting like a maniac. He’s also not afraid to return to paintings, portraying, with a fast and synthetic stroke, himself or people from the mass media zoo. Or eschews the indifference in order to approach politics, making works that range from portraying the statesman Aldo Moro in sculpture, as he was found (dead) in the trunk of a Renault in via Caetani, to a performance where a series of people raise on pedestals and wave their hands in the fascist salute."
