After the Academy of Fine Arts of Rome, followed the Experimental Cinematographic Center; in 1939 exhibited for the first time at Gallenga Gallery in Rome. He took part in the main national exhibitions of the fifties, also sending, in 1955, some works to the Exhibition of Contemporary Italian Art of Johannesburg, and in 1958 he won the ''Viterbo'' and ''Villa S. Giovanni'' prizes. His language was initially oscillating between the expressive possibilities of post-cubist figurativeness and those of a more determined abstraction. His works can be found in the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome and in the contemporary art collection of the Pontifical Museums, as well as in numerous private collections.
