- One of the twentieth century's best known Italian tenors. He was famous for his Otello and for what many critics said was a true Italianate singing voice, but some critics complained of his lack of subtlety and his habit of singing nearly everything at the same loud volume.
- According to his wish, he was buried in Otello's costume.
- His ringing voice and virile appearance earned him the nickname of the "Brass Bull of Milan".
- As a young boy he studied the violin but had a passion for singing.
- In 1975 he retired from the stage.
