He was born in Puos d'Alpago in the province of Belluno in the Veneto, but lived and worked mainly in Venice. His brother Giuseppe (1763 -1803) was also an engraver. He died in Alpago.[1] He collaborated with Francesco Tironi in producing a portfolio of twenty-four engravings (1779) of islands in the Venetian Lagoon. Many of the engravings depict thriving communities in islands that are now desolate.[2]
