Painter and sculptor of Bergamo origins, born in Cologno al Serio (BG) in 1933, he has lived and worked in Nova Milanese (MI) since the 1950s, where his passion for painting began. It was defined by Pedro Fiori as a "reflecting visceral" due to its emotional character, endowed with an enthralling personality and notable originality evident in its "Fragments of nature". His work is the synthesis of a master, to be placed in the current panorama of Italian painting in that space called symbolic figurality internationally. Revelation of profound poetry of the image located within the figural avant-garde. In the 60s, the year in which he also began to exhibit in collective and personal exhibitions, he approached the world of neo-naturalism. A period of research on materials began in the 70s, a period that lasted until 1983. In the mid-80s he returned to his beginning and therefore to a concept of symbolic representation. He died in 2014 in Nova Milanese, the city where he taught at the Free Academy of Painting and was an active protagonist in the area of proposals and activities linked to the artistic world.
