"Painter of the most distinguished for the sobriety of the colour, the chastity of the form and the elevation of the concept, sometimes taking as a pretext the ancient gods of Greece, sometimes the ancient rhapsodes, which he translates into the starry nights of the mountains of his Emilia, and envelops her with a very sweet feeling of pastoral poetry, a mirror of her good soul, even in her most biting satire she knows how to instill that restful something that makes you think and laugh sweetly. You will never see him the scapigliatura: he doesn't understand it, he doesn't feel it; maybe he doesn't even know her. (Luigi Rasi)"
