His first verified work is from 1658, when he signed an engraving on the frontispiece of Antioco by the poet, Nicolò Minato.

She died shortly after giving birth to the second and he remarried in 1673, to Angela Caroli, the widow of a merchant.

In 1673, he created what many consider to be his masterpiece; a monumental "telero" (canvas applied directly to a wall) depicting Mark the Evangelist and Saint Rocco, who interceded with the Virgin Mary to end a plague in Venice, on the left wall of the staircase at the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, opposite a depiction of the plague of 1630, by Zanchi.

He was interred, at his widow's expense, in the Church of Saint Augustine [it], which was demolished in 1873, after many years of serving as a mill.
