He later moved to Florence and became the head of design for the ceramic sculpture at the Cantagalli Ceramic Factory, where he worked under Ulisse Cantagalli (died 1901),[1] and created statuettes and bas-reliefs in both modern and Renaissance styles, recalling Lucca della Robbia and Benvenuto Cellini.[2] The Pinacoteca Moretti has a terra-cotta heraldic shield of the town of Civitanova, sculpted by Pazzini.[3]
