Paris, Luxembourg Gardens. Standing: Mercado, Spilimbergo, Butler, Basaldúa, Fernández, Musso; sitting: Badi, Berni, Pissarro

By the end of April Berni still was in Spain, to whose Salón Nacional he submitted work. He moved to France. Around that time the Grupo de Paris was about to be formed, integrated by Berni himself, Horacio Butler, Héctor Basaldúa, Aquiles Badi, Alfredo Bigatti, Raquel Forner, Víctor Pissarro and Lino Enea Spilimbergo. Close to the group could be found the writers Leopoldo Marechal, Jacobo Fijman and Oliverio Girondo.

Berni traveled through Italy, where he visited Florence, Orvieto, Assisi and Arezzo. He developed an interest in the primitive artists and the great masters of Renaissance. The composition consistency of the frescos revealed to him the incidence of architectural principles in the construction of images, a fact in which he coincided with the views of Spilimbergo, with whom he began a friendship that would last for very long.  Later he also visited Belgium and Holland.

He obtained the First Prize of the Salón de Artistas Rosarinos, organized by Grupo Nexus.
