Gaetano moved to Naples as a young man, where a attended the Academy of Fine Arts, studying with Francesco Lojacono (1841-1915). Soon, his work fascinated foreign collectors.

His work was shown at the Naples Exhibition in 1883, 1911 and 1913, at the Bologna Fine Art Exhibition from 1888, and at the Palermo exhibition from 1892.
