Note: Santoro was born in southern Italy, the son and brother of painters. After the family moved to Naples he enrolled at the Institute of Fine Arts there.

He exhibited widely in Paris, London, Turin, The Chicago World Fair of 1893, The Venice Biennale and many other places. The subject work is in sharp stylistic contrast to his highly finished Venetian views with their use of bright sunlight and glimmering water.
