Later, he was commissioned to produce frescoes for the chapel at the church of San Frediano in Cestello: scenes from the life of Saint Anastasius, inspired by the works of Correggio. These were accompanied by allegorical figures, such as "Virtue", in the spandrels.
In 1712, he and several other painters were engaged to create twenty-four large tempera paintings for the Basilica of San Lorenzo, for the canonization of Pope Pius V. Four years later, he was granted Florentine citizenship, in recognition of the quantity and quality of his works.
