He frequented the company of the Macchiaioli at the Caffè Michelangiolo, then moved to Rome where he was influenced by the circle formed around Mariano Fortuny.
He participated briefly in the Garibaldi exhibitions, and painted military subjects.
In 1872, he worked along with Ernesto Rayper in the School of Rivara, who like the earlier Macchiaioli delighted in painting out of doors.
