First he was a journalist, but after discovering that he had a voice he studied with Giuseppe Faini. Since 1892 he appeared with success at the famous Italian opera theatres. In 1898 he sang in Holland (Italian opera house), where he performed among other things as Marcello in Dutch premiere of Puccini’s ‘’La Boheme’’, at the same performace his wife, Bice Adami, created the role of Mimi. He appeared in London and Paris, in Berlin (1905, West Theatre as Malatesta) and Amsterdam, as well as in Buenos Aires (1906. at the Teatro de la opera, 1907. at the Teatro Coliseo as Belcore in ‘’Elisir d'amore’’ and as  Figaro in ‘’Il Barbiere di Siviglia’’) and Montevideo (1907). He also sang in  Rio de Janeiro, Madrid and Barcelona. In 1901 he sang at the Teatro Costanzi, Rome in one of six premieres of Mascagni’s opera ‘’Le Maschere’’. In 1905 and 1911 he was to be heard once more there in ‘’Fedora’’, ‘’La Boheme‘', ‘’La Fanciulla del West’’ and ‘’Linda di of Chamounix’’. In 1904 he sang at the Teatro Lirico, Milan in the premieres of two prize-winning operas of the Sonzogno competition, on 15. 5. 1904 in ‘’Manuel Menendez’’ of Lorenzo Filiati, one day later, on 16. 5. 1904 in ‘’La Cabrera’’ of Gabriel Dupont (with Gemma Bellincioni as a partner). In 1910 he took part at Rome in the premiere of the opera ‘’Malbruk’’ of Leoncavallo in the title role, in 1913 at the Teatro Costanzi, Rome in the premiere of V. Tommasini’s ‘’Uguale Fortuna’’. In 1914 he went to North America; here he guested first in Boston, later in New York. Then, however, he turned more and more to the teaching and was active as a music critic and music journalist. He was married to soprano Bice Adami (1875-1969); also his daughter, Iris Adami-Corradetti (1903-1998), became a known singer and pedagogue.
