Musician, Guitarist. He was a prominent heavy metal and thrash metal musician. As a teenager, he began to demonstrate his artistic gifts to the public, playing at school events. In his adolescence, he was part of the cover band "San Francisco" with his neighborhood friends, while he earned money as a caddy at the Golf Club on Sáenz Peña Street. Then he was part of the band Escarlata, and later he joined Té de Brujas (1981), a band at the heart of Tres de Febrero which, after Osvaldo left, it was the turn of Rodolfo Cava, renowned luthier of Sáenz Peña and first singer of the famous band Rata Blanca. In 1982, Civile joined V8, an emblematic Argentine metal band that was settling in after the departure of musician "Chofa" Moreno due to health problems. From that moment on, they began to be mentioned in specialized magazines and even appeared in the edition of the film "BA Rock 1982." In 1983, they recorded their first album, "Luchando por el Metal," which founded heavy metal in Argentina and gave them a great boost to reach a larger audience and tour throughout the country. In this way, they became the most important Argentine metal band of the 80s. At the end of his time with V8 in the mid-80s, Civile founded a new band: "Horcas," recording his first album, "Reinará la tempestad," in 1990. In April 1999, Civile was found dead with a gunshot wound to the chest, in an incident that no one witnessed and was never fully clarified. He was buried days later.
