He was ordained priest on 20 October 1984, in the Archdiocese of Crotone-Santa Severina. He served as parochial vicar at St. Dionysius (1986–1990), parochial vicar at St. Rita (1990–1992), and in 1994 became a member of the presbyteral council, canon of the Cathedral, Episcopal Vicar and Director of Culture. In 1999 he became parish priest at Le Castella.
He also taught at the Theological Faculty of Southern Italy in Naples and the Institute of Religious Science of Crotone. He taught theology at the Gregorian University and Urban.

He was appointed Bishop of Noto by Pope Benedict XVI on 22 January 2009. He was consecrated on 19 March 2009 and installed on 31 March just before his fiftieth birthday.
On 13 February 2011, the bishop consecrated a new altar, lectern and crucifix given to the cathedral of Noto, part of a wider restoration project of the architecture and decorations in the cathedral. The reconstruction of the structural parts of the cathedral was completed in 2007. The new altar, lectern, and crucifix were made of silvered bronze and Sicilian jasper by the Italian sculptor, Giuseppe Ducrot. The frescos in the cupola and pendentives by the Russian painter, Oleg Supereco, were also illustrated, as well as the eight new windows in the cupola by Francesco Mori.
