He made his stage debut at the Teatro Municipale in Piacenza, as Cavaradossi in Tosca, in 1954.
He quickly sang widely in Italy and various European opera houses, as
well as in South America, before making his debut on November 29, 1957, at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, as Alvaro in La forza del destino, where he sang thirteen roles in eight seasons, including Alfredo in La traviata, Manrico in Il trovatore, and Radamès in Aïda.
