Grassi was a "self-taught painter. . . active in the field of illustration and stained glass, he also decorated a part of the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome. In advertising posters, he distinguished himself with representations of landscapes and cars, with an unmistakable graphic cut and richness of chromatic contrast" (Bolaffi p. 106).
