Guinaccia painted the Trinity for the church of the Confraternita de Pellegrini in Messina. He painted a Transfiguration for the church of San Salvatore de Greci. He painted an Adoration of Christ-child for the church of San Giacomo (Milazzo) in Messina, a Nativity for the church of the Cappuccini in Ragusa, a Martyrdom of Santa Lucia for the church of Santa Lucia alla Badia in Siracusa; and an Immaculate Conception for the church of Santa Maria del Gesu in Messina.
