In 1948 she joined the Movimento Arte Concreta.[6]

Cassolo died in Milan on September 14, 1974.[4]

In 2021 the Galleria d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea (GAMeC, Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art) held a retrospective of her work.[7] The same year her work was in the exhibition Women in Abstraction at the Centre Pompidou.[8]
