Born in Lucca on 2 July 1925, he moved as a child with his family to Turin, where he studied at the Fontanesi School of Landscape and for a short period at the Albertina Academy. At the beginning of his activity he affirmed an independent position within a world (that of the city of Turin) strongly influenced by the neo-cubist movements that were prevalent in the immediate post-war years. After moving to Milan in 1952 (a city at that time very cultured and open to the influences of the international art world) he definitively came into contact with the historical avant-garde: in this period his works were increasingly highlighted for their informal character with surrealist elements.
