He finished tenth at the1983 World Championships and the1985 World Indoor Games, thirteenth at the1988 Olympic Games and eighth at the1990 European Championships. At the Mediterranean Games he won silver medals in1987 and1991. He also competed at the1987 World Championships without reaching the final.

In addition to the silver medals at theMediterranean Games, he also hit the final in two editions of theUniversiade (1987 and 1989).[1]
His personal best jump is 2.32 metres, achieved in July 1988 inTurin. This was the Italian record until September 1989, whenMarcello Benvenuti broke it by one centimetre.[3]
