He debuted in 1971, drawing 'Cattivik' in Tiramolla, and cooperating on the 'Nick Carter' series by Bonvi and Guido de Maria. In 1973, he created 'Lupo Alberto' in Undercomics. This series, about a crazy wolf, was an instant hit and soon found its way to other magazines and and journals, like Corriere dei Ragazzi and Eureka.
