He briefly served in the army during the first world war, but moved to Padua where he met other artists.
In 1931, he exhibited that year with Antonio Morato, Dino Lazzaro, and Luigi Strazzabosco at the Mostra Internazionale di Arte Sacra in Padua.
In 1937, he moved to Milan, where he would join the Corrente Movement, befriending Renato Birolli, and exhibiting with the group at the Galleria on Via Spiga.
Some of his works are exhibited at the Galleria d’Arte moderna (GAM) di Milano and in the Museums of La Spezia, Gallarate, Alessandria, Museo Castelvecchio a Verona, and Castello del Buonconsiglio di Trento.
