Using a stipend from the Gazzola Institute, he came to Florence, where at the first year of his studies, he exhibited two busts: one of a woman peasant, the other a portrait of Melchiorre Gioia; afterwards he completed a full-size statue of Torquato Tasso, and designs a monument to painter Gaspare Landi.
