Career
He was an early manufacturer of aircraft engines, producing a series of 3-, 5-, and 7-cylinder radials from a workshop in Boulogne-sur-Seine from 1910 until the outbreak of World War I.
In 1919, he emigrated to the United Kingdom, where he went to work for Armstrong-Siddeley before returning to Italy in the early 1930s to pursue landscape painting and worked with Isotta-Fraschini for a time. When these projects were abandoned, he returned to work on aero engines with Rolls-Royce until his retirement in 1947.
