[1] Passionate about history and archaeology, he extensively engaged in on-site research, for which he received praise and established connections within the curia and the Italian cultural academic world.
After establishing his own printing press, Colucci produced another thirty volumes on the subject over the course of a decade.
This work, while occasionally criticized for its organization and sometimes regionalistic style, became essential for the study of Picene history, described by the Treccani Encyclopedia as "a precious and irreplaceable source".
[1] Due to the military events that involved the Italian territory at the end of the 18th century, Colucci suspended his publications in 1797, although he continued to collect essays and material (including works by Lazzari and others).
Having become the vicar general in Orvieto in 1800, he was unable to return to publishing the additional material due to his intensive activities.
