Photographer, painter and poet. First worked as a typesetter in a printing office, a trade which he continued most of his life. Self-taught photographer beginning in 1955. He was influenced by the photographer Giuseppe Cavalli (1904-1961) but also by painters including Giorgio de Chirico (1888-1978).

He produced prints, often in high contrast, in series based on themes such as landscape, old age and death
