Born in Avellino, he attended the Italian Military Academy of Torino. During the outbreak of the Italo-Turkish War, he left for Libia in 1911 and in 1912, he was promoted to Major general. In that function, he commanded the Mixed Brigade during the Battle of Zanzur. His brigade played an important role during this battle and he was rewarded with the Military Order of Savoy.
Montuori became an Army General in 1923 and a member of the Italian Senate in 1928. After the Armistice of Cassibile in September 1943, between Italy and the Allied forces, he remained loyal to the Fascist Italian Social Republic of Mussolini. For this, he was tried after the war and he lost his title of Senator. He died in 1952 at the age of 93.
