An exponent of Piedmontese naturalism in the second half of the 19th century, he trained under Vittorio Cavalleri. He made his debut at the Società Promotrice delle Belle Arti in Turin in 1901 with three studies conducted from life, inaugurating his constant participation at major national exhibitions. From 1908 he established himself to the attention of the public and critics, who reproached him, however, for an excessive dependence on his master's models. His first production of landscapes conducted en plein air was succeeded by a greater diversification of subjects until his specialization as an animalist and author of market scenes starting in the 1920s. The solo exhibition at the Galleria Vinciana in Milan, which launched the critical and exhibition fortune for the artist, dates back to 1921.
