Initially a pupil of Pietro Anderloni, who he helped engrave the medical depictions of Antonio Scarpa. He later worked with Giuseppe Longhi in the engravings of the Erodiade by Bernardino Luino, The Holy Family by Raphael, and a Portrait of Charles. he moved to Florence to work with the lithographer Luigi Bardi, engraving the David found at the Palazzo Pitti and originally painted by Guercino; a Child Jesus by Carlo Maratta, a Jacob by Appiani, and the Madonna della seggiola. He engraved the Magdalen by Carlo Dolci, and a Madonnina by Villardi, the painting of Beatrice Cenci by Guido Reni.

With the death of Morghen, the Grand Duke Ferdinand III of Tuscany named him director of the Academy of Fine Arts of Florence. While engraving a copy of the Assumption by Guido Reni, Giovita died suddenly.[1]
