His canvases reproduce the pine forests of Ravenna as well as the valleys and coasts of central Italy.

In 1870 at Parma, he exhibited a Vallala di Poschiavo dal monte Cavagna. In 1877 at Naples, he exhibited a Fosso Ghiaia nella Pineta di Ravenna and a Paesaggio. Among his works exhibited in Turin, Milan, Rome and Bologna, were: In riva all' Adriatico; Sulle colline; Marina di Pesaro a levante; Marina di Pesaro verso Cattolica; Le foci di Piobbico; Stazione di Foligno ; and Appennino Metaurense.
