Enrico Sacchetti was born in Rome to a Tuscan family, son of Giuseppe, a state official and painter by passion, friend of Telemaco Signorini, and of Isolina Cecchini.
He was introduced into the artistic environment of the city of Florence from a young age. After completing technical studies, pursued to satisfy his father's work expectations, he returned to Florence, where he became best friends with Libero Andreotti.
In 1901 he collaborated with Vamba, at Bruscolo, then undertook caricaturist activity with Umberto Notari, which led him to success.

Enrico Sacchetti is indeed considered one of the most famous Italian caricaturists of the twentieth century.

He was a friend of Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, whose poetry magazine I illustrated, and he became one of the most famous advertising illustrators, thanks to the successful series of Bitter Campari and the invigorating Proton syrup. In 1908 he moved to Argentina, where in Buenos Aires he collaborated for El Diario, the capital's daily, but disappointed by the South American experience, he returned to Europe where, for a short period, he stayed in Paris.

From 1912 he began to collaborate assiduously with La Lettura, the illustrated monthly of the Corriere della Sera, for which he drew many of the color covers and the interior black-and-white illustrations that accompanied short stories and novels.
His style visually defined the magazine for about 25 years (just as Achille Beltrame and Walter Molino defined La Domenica del Corriere). During World War I, enlisted in the ranks of the Royal Army, he contributed to La Tradotta, the famous magazine of the III Army.
After the Cassibile armistice he joined the Italian Social Republic and in painting work he also had occasional collaboration with the "Corriere" as an elzevirist.
