In 1973 Sciola travelled to [[Mexico City]] to work with [[David Alfaro Siqueiros]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.hotelgabbianoazzurro.com/en/Blog/Pinuccio-Sciola-Sardinian-Sculptor-and-Muralist | title=Pinuccio Sciola: Sardinian Sculptor & Muralist }}</ref> He then focused primarily on sculpture. Among his most well-known pieces are the ''pietre sonore'' ("sounding stones") – large sculptures made of limestones or basalts that alter their appearance at human contact.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://roma.repubblica.it/dettaglio/battiato-pausini-zero-assoluto-e-la-notte-bianca-della-musica/1360917|title=Battiato, Pausini, Zero Assoluto è la Notte Bianca della musica|last=Liperi|first=Felcie|date=1 September 2007|work=[[La Repubblica]]|language=it|access-date=22 January 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.unionesarda.it/articolo/cronaca/2016/05/13/lutto_nel_mondo_della_cultura_morto_pinuccio_sciola-68-496686.html|title=San Sperate saluta Sciola: aperta la camera ardente, oggi il funerale|date=15 May 2016|work=L'Unione Sarda.it|access-date=17 May 2016}}</ref>

Sciola's work was exhibited at the 37th [[Venice Biennale]] (1976), the 10th [[Rome Quadriennale]] (1985) and [[Expo 2000]] in Hannover. Public commissions include the [[Rotonda della Besana]] in Milan (1984); The [[Grand Trianon]] in [[Versailles]] (1996); and [[Renzo Piano]]'s Auditorium City of Music Park in Rome (2003).  

In 1996 his sound-stones were played by the percussionist [[Pierre Favre (musician)|Pierre Favre]] at the Time in Jazz Festival in Berchidda.
