There he attended the Chigi Academy and the Circolo Internazionale di Belle Arti. Years later, he travelled to Paris, where he became acquainted with the work of Ernest Meissonier, who led him to create numerous paintings of casacones, and achieved great sales success in France, Italy, Central Europe, Russia and America.
