He was born in Oppido Mamertina in Calabria, southern Italy, to parents of limited means. He began in Calabria as a sculptor of wooden Presepi or Nativity scenes. Because of his talent, his townspeople gave him a stipend to study in Naples. There he trained under a cavalier Sorbille, also from Calabria. After a year, he trained in the local Accademia under its director Tito Angelini. In 1865, his native province continued his stipend of 60 lire per year for three years. He won a number of contests in his Naples. In 1867, he submitted his Resurrection of Lazarus and a Cain to an exposition in Rome. He moved to Florence by 1869, and spent the remainder of his career there.[1]
As a young man, he completed a Conte Ugolino bought by Marchese Agostino Sergio. Among his other works are:
Tears and Flowers (1864)
Moses in Anger smashes the Tablets with the Commandments (1864, Capodimonte)
