When he entered, on the advice of his father Zugno Faustin, in the workshop of Giambattista Tiepolo around 1730, Francesco already had a solid training as a painter.
He received his first commission for paintings for the convent church of San Lazzaro degli Armeni in Venice.
He later completed a fresco cycle for the Villa Soderini-Berti, in Nervesa near Treviso.
[4] The Venetian painter Alessandro Longhi, who knew him well, said Zugno was inclined to melancholy and loneliness.
