  * Palazzo Barberini, Rome, 1623–1624. Marble.
  * San Lorenzo in Fonte, 1626. Marble. Assistance by Giuliano Finelli.
  * Galleria Nazionale di Arte, Palazzo Barberini, Rome, 1637–1638. Marble.
  * Galleria Nazionale di Arte, Palazzo Barberini, Rome. Early 1640s. Marble. Largely the work of an assistant.
  * Louvre, Paris. 1640. Bronze.
  * Cathedral of Spoleto, 1642. Bronze.
  * Collection Principe Enrico Barberini. Early 1640s. Porphyry. Adapted from existing antique statue, largely by assistants.
  * Private Collection (Barberini Family). 1658. Bronze
  
  In 2020, the Galleria Borghese began a fund raising campaign to purchase the last bust on this list from the Barberini family.
