Born to Venetian parents displaced during the Second World War, he graduated from the University of Padua in 1966 with a thesis on the formation of film theory and criticism in Italy in the 1930s and the genesis of the idea of neorealism. His training is led by masters such as Gianfranco Folena and Sergio Bettini: hence his semiotic and linguistic interests with those of narratology and contemporary art history.

He has curated major exhibitions on Italian art (Painting with light for the Palazzo Grassi exhibition ; Italian art, 1900–1945, in 1989), as well as eleven videos for the exhibition La città del cinema di Cinecittà (1995).

He conceived and edited the Radiocelluloid radio broadcast and conceived and directed the exhibition The distant war (Museo della guerra, Rovereto, 1985).

In 1995 he was appointed commander of the Italian Republic. On November 16, 2017 he received the "Antonio Feltrinelli" award from the Accademia dei Lincei.

On 12 June 2001 he became a member of the Turin Academy of Sciences.
