Born in Barisciano (AQ) in 1923 - Died in Rome in 1996.

Already at his home village he became interested in painting following the teachings of local painter Tito Pellicciotti. At age 16 he moved to Rome to take part to the big artistic flourishing of the fifties. Soon he became interested in new artistic experiments including those connected to space exploration: his painting "First men on the moon" (here presented) produced many years before the actual feat, was acquired by the Kennedy Collection and reproduced in 1969 on main American newspaper coupled to the images coming from the moon. In 1963 he returned to Italy to continue his artistic career that took him through Abstract Expressionism and a few other areas of expression. He died in 1996 of LAS possibly as a consequence of the chemicals he used in the course of his life for his job.
