In 1884 he participated in the Esposizione Generale Italiana in Turin with a canvas inspired by La Storia Di Una Capinera by Giovanni Verga. Through his many stays in Paris, Giacomo Grosso became part of the Paris art scene, but he continued to exhibit in the Turin Promotrici, the Venice Esposizioni Internazionali d’Arte from its opening exhibition in 1895, and in other international shows including Paris 1896, Munich 1899, San Francisco 1915 where he became acclaimed as a portraitist.
