In 1800 Schiavoni went to Trieste , where he worked successfully as a miniature painter. In 1810 he moved to Milan . As a student of Alessandro Longhi, he created numerous copperplate engravings here, but now also devoted himself to oil painting. After being here the Viceroy of Italy, Eugène de Beauharnais, and had portrayed his family, he received commissions from society.
