He had an enormous career in Italian cinema in the 1910s and early 1920s. Afterwards, he pursued a career abroad in Austria and as a sound dubber in France. He returned to film acting in Italian cinema in the early 1940s. Some of his work includes “Nero” or “The Fall of Rome” in 1909 and “The Golden Wedding” in 1911.
