Born in Pantigliate (Milan) on June 29, 1872.
Died in Rho (Milan) on 22 August 1950.
After completing his studies in the seminary of Milan he was admitted among the Oblates of Rho and ordained a priest in 1895. A good missionary for voice and simplicity of style, he promoted the decorum of the sanctuary of Rho, paying particular attention to sacred chant.
In July 1915, shortly before his death, Don Guanella proposed this missionary to his confrere Don *Sperandio Filisetti for spiritual exercises for the clergy of Roveredo, after having had him, with great satisfaction, preaching at the Casa Divina Provvidenza in Como.
