After winning a singing competition, he entered the Scuola di Canto of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. While still a student, he sang a number of comprimario roles, and appeared in his first leading role in 1950, Floreski in Cherubini's Lodoiska. Penno died in Milan, on February 8, 1998, aged 77. He seems to have continued in smaller opera houses in Italy for a few more seasons.
