His first major work was a canvas depicting the Holy Family, for the church of Santa Teresa [it] in Benevento (1763).
[1] One of his largest projects involved the Royal Palace of Caserta (1768), where he painted the Summer Room, the Hall of Winter, and the private bathroom of Queen Maria Carolina; all with figures from Roman mythology.
He also decorated several areas in the church of Santa Caterina da Siena (1765-67), including the vault (Saint Catherine), the lunettes on the altars (the cardinal and theological virtues), and the third chapel (the Virgin with Saint Catherine).
His fresco in the dining room at the Palazzo del Belvedere in San Leucio is mentioned in the Italian Journey by Goethe.
