He produced a lot of canvas aimed at decorating the residences of the most illustrious families in Bologna and collectors in Lombardy, Rome, Venice, Paris, London and Petersburg. He realized suggestive rooms completely painted with plant ornaments. He was also a great set designer. The museums in Bologna store a wide repertoire of his paintings.
