In his youth, he traveled to Rome where he was influenced by Michelangelo, and then returned to Naples where he spent the rest of his career as sculptor and architect.As an architect he built a number of palaces in Naples, including the Palazzo Giusso, now the home of the Naples Eastern University.Many of the statues he created in Naples were removed to Spain by the viceroys then in charge of the Kingdom of Naples on behalf of the Spanish crown.
