On 28 January he was paid 704 lire for his work as a scenographer in the French opera-ballet Zelindor and Gl'Inca in Peroù and Les sauvages, as well as the work Aci e Galatea. He painted the canvas of St Augustine triumphs over Heresy for the church of Santo Stefano, Venice. he also painted for the Sala dell'Archivio of the Scuola Grande dei Carmini and in the Ducal Palace of Venice.
