The important Italian collector lived and worked in Shanghai between
1932 and 1936, as representative of his Italian company and in 1937,
following the Sino-Japanese war, was transferred to Dalian in Southern
Manchuria. After a brief period spent in Italy in 1938, he returned to
Shanghai where he lived between 1939 and 1940. He then moved to
Beijing where he lived between 1941 and 1946 and formed the vast
majority of his collection of Chinese Art.
