Son of the drawing teacher and modest painter Giosuè and Luigia Meani, brother of the less famous painter Gerardo Bianchi, after completing technical studies he enrolled in 1856 at the Brera Academy in Milan where he was a pupil of Schmidt, Bisi, Zimmermann, Sogni and of the director Giuseppe Bertini.

He had as course companions Federico Faruffini, Tranquillo Cremona, Daniele Ranzoni and Filippo Carcano, with whom he would share for a few years the Milan studio in via San Primo.

He participated in the war of independence of 1859.

Beginnings of his career
His first seven paintings belong to the Romantic line, following Bertini's indications: the Portrait of Simonetta Galimberti and the Portrait of Giacinta Galimberti of 1861, kept in the Civic Museums of Monza, the archpriest Stefano Guandeca accuses the Archbishop of Milan Anselmo Pusterla of sacrilegious betrayal, 1862, in a private collection, and the Conspiracy of Pontida, 1862, exhibited at Brera in 1862 and 1863.

He completed his studies in 1864 and received the commission for the Communion of Saint Louis, for the parish church of Sant'Albino in Monza. He turns to naturalistic representation, within the narrative taste of brothers Domenico and Gerolamo Induno, in works such as Una lezione di canto corale, La vigilia della sagra, 1864, Lo sparecchio dell'altare, 1865, which drew critics' attention to his painting; but with Cleopatra and La Signora di Monza, of 1865, he falls back into the melodramatic genre of the pseudo-historic Romantic painting.
