Born in 1918, present with sculptures at the Castel dell'Ovo, in the Collana stadium and in the Neapolitan Metro, and with pictorial works at the Capodimonte Museum and the Castel Sant' Elmo Museum. A student, at the end of the thirties, of Marino Marini and Pio Semeghini, of the architects Agnoldomenico Pica and Giuseppe Pagano, at the Istituto Superiore per le Industrie Artistiche of Monza, Renato Barisani, until the end of the forties, explored and produced in the various aspects of figurative art. From 1950 to 1955, together with De Fusco, Tatafiore and Venditti, he formed the «Gruppo Napoletano Arte Concreta», moving within the context of abstract-geometric research of international scope and marking the beginning of the Neapolitan avant-garde after the Second World War. He died in Naples in 2011.
