Bologna made ​​at this time the center of the student revolt; later described Tondelli the years 1975 - 1979 as anni caldi. The intellectual environment of the DAMS and the social circumstances of the 1970s coined Tondelli sustainable. The writing meant to him the most direct way of artistic expression by means of which he relieved his most introspective inward life and took mental outbursts from the social and geographical constraints.

In the following years he traveled extensively, especially to Germany. There intrigued him was Berlin, the youth and the punk movement, the squatted building in Kreuzberg, unprejudiced and easy lifestyle. These impressions he worked in his novels. After spending several years in Milan, he returned in 1991 returned to Correggio, where he succumbed to his AIDS in December of the same year.
