In 1972, he led the monarchists into union with the neofascist Italian Social Movement, taking up the role of President in the merged party.

In the 1979 election, he failed to be re-elected as a candidate of National Democracy and retired from politics, though he remained active in monarchist circles.

He graduated in literature and philosophy, in law and political science in the second half of the 1930s, and in 1940 he was a teacher of Latin and Greek in a grammar school in Benevento.

He took part in the Second World War as an officer in the Air Force, and after a series of operations in Tirana and Bari, he received a decoration for military valor.

In the 1958 general election the PMP eclipsed the PNM and the total representation of monarchists in Parliament declined significantly.

In 1970, facing a decline in the monarchist electorate, he negotiated an alliance of the PDIUM with the neo-fascist Italian Social Movement (MSI) which was known as Destra Nazionale or National Right.

Two years later, he was the chief architect of the dissolution of the PDIUM and its merger with the MSI, which then renamed itself the Italian Social Movement-National Right (MSI-DN).

A faction of the PDIUM that disagreed with uniting with the heirs of Fascism broke away to form the Monarchist Alliance (now Royal Italy), which continued into the 21st century.
