He studied at the Brera Academy in Milan until 1914 and served in World War I.

His artistic style evolved from early realism to later impressionism and was closely associated with the Novecento movement, an art movement that emerged in Italy in the 1920s and aimed to revive Italian art and culture. Salietti joined the movement in 1924 and served as secretary at the first Novecento Italian exhibition in 1926.
