Born in Genoa in 1922, in 1938 he enrolled at the Liceo Artistico Nicolò Barabino in Genoa[1], where he met Professor Mario Calonghi, a figure of great cultural stimulus for his early education. Four years later, he had his first solo exhibition at the Salone Romano in Genoa. In the same year, he enrolled in the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Milan. After marrying Giorgina Graglia in 1946, he went to Paris for the first time in 1947 where he stayed for some time and met poets and artists such as Édouard Jaguer, Wols and Camille Bryen. The Parisian experience was to prove fundamental in his stylistic development, particularly for the echoes of post-Cubism, which he assimilated and interpreted in a personal key as early as 1948, when he exhibited at the Isola Gallery in Genoa. In 1949, Sebastiano, the first of two children, was born. In 1950 he exhibited at the 25th Venice Biennale. The following year, on the occasion of a solo exhibition at the Apollinaire Gallery, he lived for some time in London, where he met and frequented Philip Martin, Eduardo Paolozzi, Graham Vivian Sutherland and Francis Bacon. In the same year, he opened his first studio in Milan in an attic in Foro Bonaparte. On these occasions Guido Ballo and the gallery owners Guido Le Noci and Arturo Schwarz took charge of his work. The following year, 1952, he also worked in the Ceramiche Mazzotti factory in Albissola Marina, where he met numerous artists and became friends with some of them.
