Since 1970 he has been professor of composition at various conservatories, first Pesaro, then Perugia and finally the "Santa Cecilia" of Rome.

In 1977 he and Walter Branchi founded "Musica Verticale", an association for the study and diffusion of contemporary music.
Baggiani made his debut as composer in 1967 for Nuova Consonanza with Mimesi, conducted by Gilbert Amy. In 1974 his work Memoria for chamber orchestra and electroacoustic device was given at the Festival of Royan. He was afterwards invited to the United States as representative of Italy at the festival commemorating Charles Ives.
The French Government commissioned two works: in 1977, Contr/Azione, to the memory of Charles Ives for two orchestras, which was given its first public performance by the Orchestre Philarmonique de Lorraine, and in 1978 a work for chamber orchestra, Double, premiered at "Collectif 2e2M" of Paris in 1979.

During the Eighties, Baggiani dedicated himself to investigating electroacoustic and instrumental techniques, experimenting the possibility of their reconcilement.
In 1986 L.I.M. of Madrid commissioned a quartet, Danza and in 1989 he composed, commissioned by G.M.E.B. of Bourges, the electroacoustic-digital work A più voci nell'ombra, which was given its first public performance at Bourges in 1990.
