 During this time while, Italy specifically, and Europe generally, were being reconstructed, he developed the technology later named "pali radice" (root pile, micropile) for the restoration of damaged monuments and buildings at the Scuola Angiulli in Naples.The first international application of micropiles was seen in Germany in 1952 for the underpinning of Krupp, in Essen-Bochum and then the Kerkini Dam in Greece.The technique was later applied in hundreds of works by Fondedile in various countries.
