After 1766, until his death, he was the abbot of St. George and the parish priest in his native Perast.
He is also important as a copyist of the works of writers Vicko Zmajević and Serafin Crijević.

His most important Italian work, however, is the Annali di Pirusto (Annals of Perast), an overview of the history of the city of Perast in Italian, but the real title is Historia della valorosa Nobile Nazione Pirustina, del Seno Rezonnico e della Dalmazia Superiore, ò sia Croatia rubea or in English "The History of the Brave Noble Perast People, from the Gulf of Risan and Upper Dalmatia, or Red Croatia".
