He played a key role in the age of Mannerism, and received several important assignments, such as the planning of the city of Livorno, the decoration of Palazzo Pitti and the Garden of Boboli (in Florence). In spite of his great success, his squandering brought to his downfall, and, if the grand duke had not given him a pension, he would have died in an abject poverty.
