Thanks to his master in 1807 he worked a lot at the Teatro alla Scala, restoring the decorations of the boxes and the ceiling in a neoclassical style. He was particularly adept at achieving perspective effects. Some of his works are still preserved at the La Scala Theater Museum and at the Antonio Caccia Museum in Lugano. He also created the decorations of the Teatrino di Corte of the Villa Reale in Monza. As a set designer he also worked at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice.
