In 1942, he made the perpetual religious vows and was ordained a priest. He taught Italian literature for thirty years in the Philosophical School of the Capuchins in Savona. He conducted his priestly ministry in several convents of the Ligurian province of the Capuchins, including Pontedecimo, Madonna delle Grazie di Voltri, Varazze, Savona, Voltaggio e Genoa San Bernardino. He was also the chaplain of San Martino Hospital in Genoa.
He was a poet, writer, playwright, journalist and collaborator of literary magazines. He began writing poetry at an early age and published several collections, including: “Rosso di Sera” (1946), “Biancospino” (1957), “Sotto la Gronda” (1964), “L’Angelo dei Suburbi” (1971) e “Poesie 1937-1970” (1975). As a playwright, he wrote in both Italian and Ligurian languages. As a journalist, he collaborated with L'Osservatore Romano, for which he published over 120 articles on ethics and literary criticism, and with the Genoese newspapers Il Cittadino and Il Corriere Mercantile. He also wrote texts illustrated strips for children, published in the magazine Lo Scolaro.

Poetics and style
Gherardo Del Colle's poetry is characterized by complexity and depth, embracing not only religious themes but also social and contemporary issues. Some of his texts reveal a strong sense of indignation and compassion, while others express anger and dismay at the hatred and wickedness of modern society. Del Colle is appreciated by literary critics for his ability to celebrate life in all its facets, from joys to sorrows, with sincerity and authenticity. His poems, which range from praise to God to inner reflection and suffering for world events, show a rigorous stylistic approach.
In his plays, both in Italian and Ligurian languages, he takes original inspiration from Achille Campanile and the early Eugène Ionesco.
