He worked at the court of the Medici family during the time of Cosimo I and among his best-known and best-known works are the Fauno Morgante, made of stone, located inside the Boboli Gardens in Florence. The satyr represented here is holding in both hands an amphora from which he pours water, making this subject ideal for fountains, mounted on a marble column.
