He worked at Messina, painting landscapes and marine subjects, generally showing storms in the latter.

He also occasionally painted historical events,[2] and three small pictures on copper by him of scenes from the Passion are recorded as having been in the church of San Gioacchino at Messina (destroyed by the catastrophic earthquake in 1908).
