Life

Besides dealing with specialist topics, in 1949 he wrote the educational work Che ha fatto la Marina? 1940–45 to make the navy's actions during World War Two better known – they were then little known due to censorship. He had planned it in 1942 whilst serving in the Supermarina.
He was also the advisor, screenwriter, production manager, consultant and assistant director on four 1950s Italian war films – three directed by Duilio Coletti and one by Antonio Leonviola
