  • Il Mattino di Parini
  • L'Arlecchino ardito
  • Il suonatore di contrabbasso
  • Il suonatore d' arpa
  • Mezzogiorno e Vespro

He was also known for his bright and colorful portraits, including one of Giuseppe Verdi, exhibited in Venice in 1887.[1] Among his works:

  • Christ in the Garden
  • The Civil Wedding of sindaco Giulio Bellinzaghi
