Italian term or phrase: pitture-oggetto
Adornano le pareti, dipinti e opere di grafica che suggeriscono confronti sulle forme rappresentative dell’astrattismo aniconico: si va da quello informale di Ciro Barbaro, a quello geometrico di Mario Radice, passando da quello più dinamico e guizzante di Mario Schifano, fino poi ad arrivare a quello delle pitture-oggetto di Lucio Del Pezzo, dove la pop art si confonde nella citazione metafisica

assemblage
Explanation:
In inglese usiamo la parola francese. L'artista ha fatto "assemblages" prima di fare le pitture-oggetto, ma secondo le immagine online, la tecnica è più o meno la stessa.

collage


Explanation:
"Collage
A collage (From the French: coller, to glue, French pronunciation: [kɔ.laːʒ]) is a work of formal art, primarily in the visual arts, made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.
A collage may include newspaper clippings, ribbons, bits of colored or hand-made papers, portions of other artwork, photographs and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas. The origins of collage can be traced back hundreds of years, but this technique made a dramatic reappearance in the early 20th century as an art form of novelty."

This term is traditionally the name given to pictures which have been assembled with a variety of objects, along with direct painting on the background sometimes. These images of pictures by Lucio del Pezzo seem to correspond to this well known style of art:

See bottom of this page for caption for one of del Pezzo's "collages":
"Interferenza

These articles explain a bit more about the work of Lucio del Pezzo and the style of "collage" artwork:
