He also painted in 1899-1900, along with Vincenzo De Stefani, the lunettes of a chapel in the Sanctuary of Monte Berico in Vicenza. He painted Christianity and Heresy now found in the Art Museum of Ravenna. In 1890, he also painted the walls of the parish church of Santi Francesco e Giustina in Rovigo, depicting St Francis before Pope Honorius III and the Martyrdom of Saint Giustina.
