In 1956 he was assigned the task of illustrating the Bible for “Il Messaggero di Sant’Antonio”.
At the beginning of the 1960s, Baraldi began working for children's fiction books. At the same time, he started a 7-year collaboration with the prestigious British history magazine "Look & Learn".
At the end of the 1970s, he started to collaborate with the Italian publisher San Paolo Edizioni, becoming the official illustrator of the page "Events of the day" in the weekly magazine “Famiglia Cristiana”.
In 1994, he was commissioned to illustrate the Bible edited by Mons. Gianfranco Ravasi and published by Fratelli Fabbri.
In 1981, he received the Shogakukan award in Tokyo for his work “Seven biographies” (of Marco Polo, Galileo Galilei, Cristoforo Colombo, among others).
In 2007, he received the lifetime achievement Anafi Award in Reggio Emilia.
That very same year, he was received by Pope Benedict XVI, to whom he donated the illustration of an episode of the Gospels.
