He made his debut in the competition of that institute for the year 1845 with an Ariosto theme, The Death of Zerbino. He favored the genre subject related to biblical or literary history: in 1851 he presented the Widow's Mite to the Academy and in 1857 Blind Milton Dictating Paradise Lost to his Daughters (both in Florence, Gallery of Modern Art of Palazzo Pitti), works that denounce the artist's attraction to purist forms first and naturalistic forms later. In 1852 he participated in the Florentine Promoter with Spring and returned later with the themes most congenial to him: The Last Confession of Beatrice Cenci (1855), Torquato Tasso at the Convent of S. Onofrio, Rebecca at the Well, Bice in the Underground of Rosate (1856). Around 1860 he painted a subject of contemporary history, set in Piazza della Signoria in Florence: The Morning of April 27, 1859, presented at the I National Exhibition of Florence in 1861.
