In the 1960s, he became the director of the Institute of Technical Architecture at the University of Bologna, succeeding Michelucci. He also worked on the master plans for Pisa, Lucca, Sassari, Florence, and Bologna.[1]
Between 1975 and 1995, Clemente served as the director of the Institute of Urban Planning at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Cagliari, and later as the first director of the Department of Land Engineering.[1]
In 2004, the library of the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Sassari in Alghero was named after him. In 2010, the Sardinian section of the National Institute of Urban Planning (INU) named an award after him.
