Inside the Galleria degli Angeli there are two masterpieces, the Monument of Raffaele Bisteghi (1891) and the one dedicated to the opera singers Adelaide and Erminia Borghi-Mamo (1894).

In 1897 he was commissioned by the mayor to draw up a report on the "state of health" of the Neptune Fountain of Bologna in Piazza Maggiore.
