He has been one of the most famous Ligurian sculptors for more than fifty years. In 1836 and 1837 he was one of Lorenzo Bartolini’s pupils in Florence: during the 1830s and 1840s he modified a bit his classical style by adding some romantic elements, marked by some interest in nature. When he came back to Genoa, he hold the chair of sculpture at the “Accademia Ligustica” from 1838 to 1885, so becoming a main reference point for several generations of artists. Thanks to his attention to the cultural phenomenons, he helped to bring Liguria out of its isolation. He made more than 40 works for Staglieno, among which the Bracelli tomb Spinola (1864), the Andrea Tagliacane tomb (about 1870) and the De Asarta tomb (1879) are quite remarkable.
