	Beginning in a Neo-Classical style, he gradually adopted Romanticism. He was known for his lack of concern for historical veracity, once having set "La Sonnambula" in what looked like a Roman forum (instead of an Italian village), for example. Occasionally, he used machines to create theatrical effects; notably at a festival celebrating the coronation of Ferdinand I of Austria in 1835. According to his official obituary, he created over 1,100 scenarios.
