Giulio initially studied painting under his father's tutelage followed by a two year apprenticeship with Ettore Tito. He then went to Munich, Germany and worked under the guidance of Carl Marr and then went to Paris, France where he worked with Julien Simon.

In 1912 he exhibited at the Biennale di Roma and in 1913 at Ca' Pesaro in Venice. During World War I, he was a volunteer in the navy and on behalf of the Ministry of the Navy, he painted war scenes. After the war he and two friends established a short lived company to manufacture drawn fabrics. In 1922, he left for America where he managed to establish a reputation as a good portraitist.

He died in Manhattan, New York due to complications from a surgical operation. Prior to his death he had expressed his wish that he be buried with his family in their tomb in the Cimetero di San Michele.

He never married. His artistic signature was Lulo de Blaas.
