Young officer of the Military Force, worked, first, to Antignano and then to Villa Casciaro. A preference for the sculpture in bronze and, particularly, small portraits of women, in whom transfused experiences archaic art, Renaissance and modern; called his works "My children". He has participated in numerous biennials, the IV Quadrennial National Art in Rome in 1952, the VII and IX of the 1965 Quadrennial. At the Venice Biennale in 1928, he participated with a bronze child's head, oscillating between realism and expressionism.
In the art scene of Naples was the antithesis of each academic guided by an instinct subtle and unique that made him the extreme tip of each comparison controversial.
