After taking part in World War I, he married and settled in Guastalla in Martyrs of Belfiore street where in 1933 he founded, with friends, artists and writers, the "Pia cantina di San Francese".
In the following decades he continued to show his paintings in collective exhibitions: in 1959 at Galleria S. Babila in Milan with Ligabue and Bruno Rovesti [it], in 1962, 1965 and 1966 at the Casa d'arte di Guastalla and in the following years in Italy in Luzzara, Biella, Correggio, Mirandola, Brescia, Palazzolo sull'Oglio, Suzzara, Mantua, Bologna, Prato, Ancona, Rome, Reggio Emilia and abroad in Lugano and Zagabria.
[3] His life was marked by a sincere friendship with Antonio Ligabue who recognized to him only the title of "friend" in fact in 1941 Mozzali hosted him in his home in Guastalla and took on the responsibility of getting him out of the psychiatric hospital.
[4] His production can be divided into four periods: up to the '30, his works are academic, influenced by his master Alceo Dossena; in the following decade he devoted himself above all to the creation of sculptures for funeral and religious commissions.
As an acute observer of the world, he focused his attention on lively village reality without renouncing to insert in his cartoonistic and grotesque works a charge of irony but not sarcasm.
