In 1954 he debuted with his first solo exhibition of miniatures at the Lyceum in Florence. In 1962 he married Anna Romagnoli. From those years he began to create miniature and pastel portraits of well-known Italian and foreign personalities. He held exhibitions in New York, London, New Zealand, and Australia. In Italy, he exhibited in Florence, Milan, Rome, Pisa, Verona, Mestre, and Montecatini Terme. Between 1979 and 1980, commissioned by the Camerata dei Poeti of Florence, presided over by Adolfo Oxilia, he carried out studies in the Vatican for a Portrait of Pope Wojtyla created the following year in a miniature on ivory conserved in the Pontifical Collections at the Vatican Palaces.
