He was a colleague of [[Dario Guidotti]] in early education; by age 16, he was apprenticed to the studio of the architect [[Giovan Battista Silvestri]] and then with [[Enrico Presenti]]. He worked on projects to decorate the stations of the railroad route of [[Montevarchi]]-[[Arezzo]] and the mines of Tana. Afterward he worked with engineer Del Noce, who was transforming the Palazzo Paggeschi, the Hôtel della Pace in Piazza Manin (now [[Piazza Ognissanti]]). He also worked on the refurbishing of the inn, now Albergo Montebello.
