He trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and later studied under Domenico Morelli in Naples. He spent time in Paris, where he worked with Goupil & Cie and exhibited at the Salon, before returning to Italy in 1886 to settle in Florence, where he became a sought-after portraitist for the aristocracy.
