He presented some of his works at the Rome Quadrennial in 148, repeating the experience in 1955. In 1950 he obtained the first prize at the Caltagirone Art Biennale. Some of his works, inspired by the tradition of Caltagirone, are today exhibited in the rooms of the eighteenth-century Ospedale delle Donne, today the Civic Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art of Catania. He died in Catania in 1986. In the first photo immediately below this description we have put biographical information on the artist (of which this is a concise translation).

In fact, the asking price is always as low as possible, considering how much the item was paid for and the eBay commissions (for the sale, payment and any currency exchange: from a minimum of 15% to a maximum of 21% , according to the country in which the advertisement was made). For each object there may be multiple advertisements in different countries: USA, Italy, France, United Kingdom, etc. Any price differences are due only to changes in the exchange rate of the various currencies between when we made the advertisement and when you see it.
