In 1863 he moved to Venice to attend the courses of the Fine Arts Academy, completing the with the attendance of the School of painting of the nude (1866-1867). In the seventies he began to participate in major Italian exhibitions with paintings of historical-religious subjects. He was soon attracted by the veritable school of Barbizon and the Impressionists. Pozzo interpreted the landscape with realistic accents and was always careful to document the lives of men. From 1878 he resided in Rome. He made numerous trips to Austria, Hungary and from 1880 to England and Ireland, becoming fascinated in 1888 by Scotland. He participated in the National Fine Arts Exhibitions of Turin (1880, 1884), Milan (1881, 1883, 1886), at the Florence Promotrice (1882, 1883). At the National Exposition of Turin (1884) and the Provincial of Udine (1883) he alternated paintings of genre and of Roman, Carnian and Venetian landscapes

He participated in numerous Venetian Biennials (1897, 1899, 1903, 1912) above all with some portraits. He founded in Rome a school of painting "Academy for ladies", marrying in 1902 one of his pupils, the New Zealander Isabel Cargill, who opened, together with Miss Babington, the famous tea house in Trinità dei Monti. 1903 was a crucial year: Pozzo exhibited numerous portraits, landscapes, genre scenes at the Udine Regional Exposition and was present at the Venice Biennale. In 1907 he participated in the International Exhibition of Fine Arts in Rome with landscapes and watercolors which he had dedicated since 1891. In 1910 he executed for the church of S. Floriano in Maranzanis di Comeglians a shovel rich in Liberty motifs at the Previati. From 1913 is his last participation in the exhibition of the watercolorists of Rome, then the years of war and the disease to the heart he turned away from painting until his death in 1919. Pozzo can be considered the leader of the landscape genre in Friuli, lived the events of Impressionist painting and knew how to seize the art nouveau ferments. More on Giuseppe Da Pozzo
