He continue his studies, which he did , unde the care of Mario Albertella who had an art studio in Milan, and hence, at the only 14 years of age he left for the big city with a suitcase full of hopes.
He was gifted with an original and lively talent for art , he had a sharp , although fare tongue and he was an amiable and courteous gentleman.
His artistic vein was his interior refuge , where his soul cohabited with his genius and were both projected towards a search of ethical and human values , in strict complicity – at times joyous , at times , bitter, however , relentlessly honest and rigorous.
