He studied medicine and natural sciences at the University of Modena, then spent several years working as an assistant at the botanical institute in Padua (1892–1900).

He donated tens of thousands of specimens to the herbarium in Florence that included 1300 items from Eritrea.[2] With Augusto Béguinot and Renato Pampanini Fiori edited and distributed the exsiccata Flora Italica exsiccata and subsequent series.[3][4]
