From a modest family, fatherless, he spent his childhood in an orphanage and dedicated himself to self-taught art. At a very young age he worked for the marble worker Stefano Furati and the Ravenna sculptor Attilio Maltoni (1862-1909). Pupil of Alessandro Mazzarenti (1846-1923), in Ravenna, he moved to Turin and worked in Pietro Canonica's studio as a marble hewer. He therefore began his career as a sculptor by exhibiting, starting in 1900, at the exhibitions of the Promoter of Fine Arts of Turin. He receives numerous awards and recognitions in Italy, Europe and South America. Humanity against evil, a work of great plastic expressiveness, presented in plaster in Milan in 1906, made in marble in 1908, proposed again in Buenos Aires in 1910, is preserved in the Gallery of Modern Art in Rome. In 1920 he created the Monument to San Giovanni Bosco, in front of the Basilica of Mary Help of Christians in Turin. The roundel for the Saint's urn was also his work. The War Memorial of Carmagnola (Turin) dates back to 1921. Between 1928 and 1930 he created the War Memorial of Asti. In 2006, an exhibition on the artist Gaetano Cellini was set up in the Exhibition Hall of the Basilica of Maria SS. Helper.
