In 1960 he moved to Italy and studied at the University of Rome. He continued his studies while working in Milan, graduating with a doctorate in architecture from the Milan Polytechnic University. For the next two years he specialized in town planning and concrete construction, but also had his first exhibition of drawings. In 1977 Vahramian founded I/COM (Institute/Communication for the Preservation of the Legacy of Threatened Cultures) in Milan. In 1981 he established the MUSICAM Institute with Ludwig Bazil in Munich, Germany. In 1985 he established OEMME Edizioni (Publishing House) in Milan. In 1992 Vahramin decided to devote himself full time to his art. He took up art criticism for a number of Italian newspapers in 1994, and is a member of the Italian Union of Journalists. Vahramian is also a researcher and prolific writer on Armenian and Near Eastern architecture with some ten books and 60 articles to his credit. He has received much recognition for his book designs, including "Best Book of the Year" in Berinten, Belgium, for the 1985 title Kambiz.
