He deals, mainly in watercolour, with rural and family subjects; he also dedicated himself to sacred art and cultivated woodcuts. At first he followed academic dictates, then, after an impressionist interlude, he returned to giving correctness to the drawing, while trying to draw inspiration, both for form and colour, from nature and only from it. His main works are: "The farmer's breakfast" (watercolour), with which the artist won the first painting prize in the competition announced by the National Association of Artists in 1927 in Florence; "Peasants at rest", exhibited in Krefeld in 1930; "Convalescent"; "In the stable"; "Breakfast"; "Portraits of my children"; "Nanny at the sea"; "The first smile"; "Maternity"; "Diggers"; "At the watering hole"; "Rustic banquet"; "Rabbits"; "St. Francis and the turtledoves"; "La pappa", owned by the director of the Bank of Italy in Ancona; "Adempimenti", highlighted in the Ussi competition of 1930. His paintings can be found in private galleries, at the National Confederation of Professionals and Artists Unions and at the Industry Union; five engravings are preserved in the Chalcography of Rome. In Monteprandone (Ascoli Piceno) he painted a chapel dedicated to San Giacomo della Marca, and in the Basilica of Loreto a niche in which he illustrated "Seven episodes from the life of San Francesco Xavier".
