His essays on Matteo Giovanetti published in 1962 earned him a Viareggio Prize, and in 1991, he received a Feltrinelli Prize from the Accademia dei Lincei along with Paola Barocchi, with whom he later on worked on the restoration of the Camposanto Monumentale di Pisa.

He subsequently was a professor emeritus at the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, and a member of the Accademia dei Lincei, the Accademia di San Luca, and the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno.[1][2][3][4]
