Among his many portraits, many life size, are those of Signora Guerrazzi of Livorno; of contessa Lavinia Bocca; of Landini's sister; of the writer signora Elena Landini Ruffino; and finally a commissioned portrait of the Princess of Wales. Also notable is the portrait of the Countess di Pralormo, and the portrait of the boy of the contessa Laparelli Pitti. Landini also painted still-life paintings of flowers.[1]
