Picciati received his Laureate in Physics in 1890 from the University of Pisa , where he was a student of Vito Volterra , and in 1895 in Mathematics from the University of Padua . He taught at high schools in Venice (and at the ship engine school). Shortly before his untimely death, he won the competition for the chair of mechanics at the University of Bologna .
He dealt with theoretical physics and gave, among other things, a mathematically rigorous treatment of the electromagnetic field induced by the current in a coil and the fall of a ball in a viscous liquid.
In 1909 he received the Mathematics Prize of the Accademia dei XL .
