His mother was from Smyrna (now İzmir) in western Anatolia and his father was Genoese, born in Loano, Liguria.

He settled permanently in Paris in 1871 (and became a naturalized French citizen in 1881) having published his first book in France in 1865.

He continued to write poetry and articles for Italian journals, particularly in L'Illustrazione under titles such as Notizie Letterarie (Literary notices) and Corriere di parigi (Paris Courier).

He penned various plays, often in verse, some of which were put to music and in the case of Rome vaincue later transformed into an opera, Roma.
