His career began around 1687 in the Valtice and Lednice castles , which the architect Giovanni Giacomo Tencalla from Bissone was involved in building. He is in Turin around 1693 . He created the stucco along the main staircase in the Palazzo Carignano together with Agostino and Stefano Silva from Morbio Inferiore . Then in the Palazzo Lascaris in Turin under the direction of the plasterer Giovanni Battista Barberini from Laino . From 1698 it is documented in Vienna, where, as in Valtice and Lednice , he worked in a palace of the Princes of Liechtenstein . This time in their city palace near the Hofburg, which was built from 1692 according to plans by Domenico Martinelli.
Pietro Antonio was probably part of Santino Bussi's team from Bissone, who was responsible for the stucco work in the palace from 1698–1701. Garove's stucco work has been preserved in six rooms. 1713-1717 he can be found in the Ottobeuren monastery , where several Ticinese plasterers worked during these years, including Carlo Andrea Maini from Arogno , Francesco Marazzi from Mendrisio and Giovanni Battista Verda from Gandria .
