In Genoa his frescoes are to be seen in the Church of Santa Maria Maddalena,[1] but he spent most of career in Milan and Bergamo. He added church ceilings in Milan, contributed to the decoration of churches in Bergamo and to the Palazzo Mazzoleni in Bibbiena. In Rome, his sole prominent public commission was for the fresco of the ceiling of San Pietro in Vincoli in 1706[2] and the vault medallions (c. 1706) in Santa Maria dell’Orto, Rome.
