His most famous work includes part of the construction at Villa Borghese (monumental neoclassical propylaea from Piazzale Flaminio). He is also known for his proposed reconstruction of the sanctuary at Oropa (1856). His most important archaeological works were the excavation of Tusculum in 1829 and the Via Appia in 1848. In 1843 he was elected an honorary member of the National Academy of Design.
