He was the founder and leader of Italian irredentism in Gorizia and Gradisca. He was born in Gorizia, in the Austrian Empire (now in Italy), in a wealthy middle-class family.

After the restoration of political liberties in the Austrian Empire in 1861, he was elected mayor of Gorizia. The Austrian government however refused to confirm the nomination. Nevertheless, he remained an influential figure in the local administration; under his supervision, an extensive building program was carried out in Gorizia.
