Always in Genoa, in 1859, he went to the university. In 1881 he obtained retirement for health reasons and he returned to Firenze, where he remained until his death.
He was rector of the University of Genova and, among other things, member of the Accademia dei Lincei, a member of the Società dei XL and collaborator of the “Annali” of Tortolini.
His little abundant production focuses on scientific analysis and especially the derivation of fractional order.
