He completed his philosophy and literature studies in Turin in 1870 .

For a few years he taught philosophy in Reggio Calabria and Porrentruy, then returned to Ticino and founded the Istituto internazionale femminile in Maroggia . As a free thinker , ideologue of radicalism and pioneer of the liberal coup d'état of 1890 in Ticino, he co-founded the Unione radicale-sociale ticinese in 1897 , which called for the realization of the secular state and the non-denominational school.
