In 1952 he moved to the Piccolo Teatro di Milano , with which he also performed a tour of South America; In 1954 he and several colleagues founded their own troupe, the Compagnia deigiovani , to which he remained connected until 1974.
At the end of the 1950s he began his cinema career, during which he worked with directors such as Vittorio De Sica , Luchino Visconti and Mario Monicelli .
