In the 1960s, he won a silver medal at the Triennale. In 1961, he started working with Nanni Valentini, the manufacturer of Laboratorio Pesaro, where he worked throughout his life. He was acknowledged as one of the most important Italian ceramic artists and his works are displayed in many exhibitions.
