In 1937 he resided in Cremona, on viale Regina Margherita, and participated at the Mostra Concorso di liuteria contemporanea of the Stradivarius Bicentennial and in 1938 at the Berlin International Exhibition, where he was chosen to show the work of the violin-maker in the rebuilt Stradivari workshop. He was the first lab teacher at the Scuola Internzionale di Liuteria of Cremona, after Simeone Sacconi's rejection. He died in Piacenza while it was in military service during World War II.
