Born in Venosa on 25 July 1845, died in Naples on 26 December 1883. He learned the first elements of drawing from his sculptor brother. Retired, he went to Naples, where he was a pupil of De Vivo, from whose antiquated artistic direction he soon broke away, to follow Morelli's new art; he thus asserted himself in his own personality and became one of the good artists of his time.
