Nephew of the well-known painter Eugenio Gignous, he attended the Brera Academy where in 1884 he was awarded the Mylius prize for the historical landscape, that year with a free subject, with a view of the town of Sesto Calende on Lake Maggiore (place of the landing of Garibaldi and the regiments of the Hunters of the Alps in May 1859) . This landscape recurs frequently in his repertoire to the point of becoming a characteristic theme of all his production with a strong naturalistic matrix.
\r
He participated in the main national exhibitions of the time, quickly establishing himself as a landscape painter with a repertoire of views of Lake Maggiore studied from life during his stays in Stresa, as a guest of Eugenio Gignous who moved there with his family in 1887.
