After completing the mandatory schooling, he painted in his spare time after work, he used to work ashandyman for a house painter in Malles; he later moved to a varnisher in Bressanone, where he met the Austrian painter and restorer Fasal with whom he will work for later. He learned the secrets of the fresco and technically improved in painting.
Called up for military service to fight for Italy in the Second World War, however, he obtained his leave opting for German citizenship soon; before leaving for Germany he was commissioned several paintings of farmsteads, which their owners would have brought with them to Germany as they chose to move to that country.
He enrolled at the Berlin Academy of Fine Arts, which he was unable to attend, however, when he was called up for military service for the German army; in 1943 he got leave for study reasons and for a semester he managed to be in Berlin at the Academy.
At the end of the war he came back to his valley and organized his first personal exhibition in 1946.
He then attended the Academies of Florence and later the Brera in Milan.
At the end of the 1940s he spent a whole year in Paris where he studied with the painter and illustrator André Lothe.
He then returns to Italy in Florence, Milan and South-Tyrol, where he frescoes various churches, including those of Prato allo Stelvio and Malles.
Returned to Paris in 1950, he met his future wife Marie Joseph and carried out the preparatory work for the war memorial in Naturno and Malles. The work is damaged by unknown people and then hidden by the intervention of the Church, which did not like the work, it will be restored not before 1968.
He moved to Brazil for a while where he exhibited in São Paulo and where his eldest daughter was born. In 1955 he returned to Bolzano to paint the frescoes in the Provincial Council Chamber; for the next three years he returned to Brazil and then organized exhibitions and created a fresco in the headquarters of the Folha da Manha newspaper.
He permanently returned to Europe in 1958, he worked in South Tyrol, France and Austria. He exhibited unsuccessfully in Milan in 1963 and then created the demanding cycle of frescoes in the Chapel of the Ponte Europa, the impressive Austrian viaduct over the Wipptal, between Brenner and Innsbruck.
In 1976 he was awarded the Medal for Sciences and Arts conferred on him by Austria.
In 1978 he moved again with his family to Paris and then, due to his illness, to the south of France for treatments. In the small village of Cipières he spend the rest of his life except for short intervals in Paris, in his valley in Burgusio and Milan, where he died on December 8, 1986.
