He studied with Adriano Cecioni, then, recommended by Telemaco Signorini, he dedicated himself not only to sculpture but also to painting. He formed, therefore, alongside Macchiaioli and made his debut very early, exhibiting six small landscapes at the Promotrice of Florence in 1888. He continued annually to present paintings and statues there. From 1891 to 1895 he followed the Divisionist school and painted, among other things, In riva all'Arno and Mattino sul mare. In 1897 he exhibited two large pastel female portraits at the Internationale of art and flowers in Florence and then oriented himself towards large figures, often with an allegorical meaning. In 1898 he appeared in Turin with Dolore.

The portraits also belong to his last production (Portrait of the Marquis Quaratesi). In 1922 he exhibited in Florence at the Fiorentina Spring and until 1936 several times in Pavia. In 1936, finishing his teaching at the school of painting, many works were purchased by the Municipality of Pavia and are located in the museum of that city.

Retiring to Fauglia with his family in 1943, he died in his villa in Poggio alla Farnia on February 15, 1948.
