He was primarily a painter of genre and figures.[4] In 1860, he painted a portrait of the King for the Italian colony in Cairo, Egypt. He also painted literary subjects from the works of Byron and Pietro Grossi; and a half-figure costume genre of Dopo il ballo donated to the Academy of Fine Arts of Florence. In the latter, a young woman after a masked ball, lounges in a chair still in her gay costume. Other genre paintings, include La Freddolosa and l'Estate; and the pair Aspettando and i Preparativi. He also painted ceramics with still lifes of fruit and game, and small figures. For example, a large plate of l'Autunno.[5]
