Celentano was born in Naples, where he first trained with Luigi Stabile. He subsequently attended the Accademia di Belle Arti di Napoli, where he was instructed by Giuseppe Mancinelli. By 1860, he had moved to Rome where he had a brief and intense career.

He was a colleague of Domenico Morelli and Filippo Palizzi, two other Realist painters. Among his two major paintings are Tasso, Starting to show Madness at Bisaccia and The Council of Ten (Il Consiglio di Dieci). His friend, Guglielmo de Sanctis published an essay of the last days of his life, and mentions that the painters Cesare Fracassini and Paolo Mei, as well as himself, were by his bedside at the time of his demise. The precocious death of such a talent was a cause of great distress among fellow artists. A conference in 1893 recalled his life, work, and posthumous influence.

He died in Rome at the age of 28 and he was buried in the church of Sant'Onofrio al Gianicolo in Rome.
