During the Second World War he fought in Yugoslavia and married his wife Liliana, with whom he had three children. After the end of the war he found work as an usher in the cinemas of “Scalera Film”, which is soon to become one of the most important companies in Italy. Soon he was working as a masseur and fitness trainer for many actors in Italy and was cast for supporting roles in films; especially his relationship with Federico Fellini , whose personal masseur he became, lasted until his death and thus thirty years.
