He spent most of his early life in Livorno before returning to his hometown following the bombings of the Second World War. During his adolescence he developed interest in reading and demonstrated expressive qualities in drawing. An aid for cultural training came from the family: the father was high school principal, the mother teacher, while the grandfather was the rector of the University of Pisa, the deputy of Parliament Augusto Mancini. After completing his classical studies, he graduated in Law in Pisa and taught law in upper secondary schools in the province of Lucca. During the teaching period he began the activity of satirical designer, succeeding the cartoonist Mino Maccari on the pages of the weekly Il Mondo, and illustrated some volumes of the "Il Ponte" series by Arnoldo Mondadori Editore. He met the Russian painter Marc Chagall on the French Riviera in 1957 [1]. Since 1960 he obtained numerous awards, and exhibited in Italy and abroad. It was reported for the Bolaffi catalog in 1972 by Dino Buzzati and in 1982 by Pier Carlo Santini.
