From his first one-man show in Milan in 1962, Benini’s exhibition career encompasses 160 one-man exhibitions internationally. In 1999, Benini relocated to the Texas Hill Country and established The Benini Galleries and Sculpture Ranch now open  to visitors and student tours. A 14,000 sq. ft. building hosts a permanent retrospective exhibition of Benini's paintings, a guest-artists gallery, as well as offices, studios, and a fine arts library. Large-scale sculptures of national and international artists are being installed on the surrounding 140 acres, with 115 pieces now installed by artists from around the country and abroad..
