He taught at cantonal vocational schools until 1944.

Crivelli founded the Rivista Storica Ticinese in 1938 , which was published until 1946. As a journalist, he wrote regularly in newspapers and magazines using the pseudonyms Lallo Vicredi, Settebello and Gavroche . From 1944 to 1961 he was cantonal inspector of museums and archaeological sites and from 1958 cantonal curator of monuments. He led numerous excavations in the prehistoric and Roman necropolises in Muralto , Giubiasco and in the Leventina Valley .

Even active as a painter and researcher, he wrote the two books Architetti Beretta da Brissago (1934) and Artisti ticinesi (4 volumes, 1966–1971).
