He was born into a poor family. He studied singing in Milan under Giuseppe Mandolini and in 1917 made his debut at the Teatro Verdi of Milan in ‘’Traviata’’. He retired from the stage in 1926 because of serious difficulties caused by a wrong formulation of the voice. He remained in the theatrical world and organized lyric shows in Busseto.
