His career happened primarily in the bigger Italian provincial stages. Probably his bast role was Don Carlo in ‘’La forza del destino’’ and he appeared in this role in Salerno, Parma, Bergamo, Padova and in other theaters. In 1909 he created for Parma the role of Sharpless in the première of ‘’Madame Butterfly’’. After finishing his career Minolfi opened in Milan an agency for singers and helped many young artists.
