 | | In July 1957, during a vacation at his house in Cosio d'Arroscia, he founded the Situationist International with Michele Bernstein, Guy Debord, Pinot Gallizio, Asger Jorn, Walter Olmo, Ralph Rumney and Elena Verrone. |
 | | The following January (1957), Simondo, Verrone and Olmo were excluded from the SI, following a violent disagreement with Debord. |
 | | In 1962, Simondo founded the CIRA (International Center for an Institute of Artistic Searches) in Turin; the organization's purpose was to expand the proposals of the Laboratorio sperimentale di Alba. |
