In 1872 he became a temporary lecturer of Algebra and Analytical Geometry at the University of Turin. In 1874 D'Ovidio became full professor on same subjects.
From 1880 to 1885 the professor was rector, too.
In 1906 D'Ovidio was appointed as Royal Commissioner in the Application School for Engineers. He created the first enforcement of the law by which the Regio Politecnico (1906) was constituted from merging the Royal Industrial Museum and the Application School for Engineers.
D'Ovidio pre-set also the first scheme of regulation for the Institute.
He was director of the Politecnico from 1907 to 1922 and (annually appointed) professor in Analytical and Practical Geometry from 1908 to 1918.
He died in Turin on 21st March 1932.
Among his important works we can remember those on the geometry of the straight line, on the projective metrics in ordinary space and in more-dimensioned spaces and the ones on the theory of binary forms.
