Montanini was dedicated to the painting of the figure and with outcomes of excellent quality, even experimenting with dell'affresco technique. After some travel and additional study, he returned to Perugia in 1658. During a Roman stay Montanini's work was much appreciated by the Romans for its thoroughness and accuracy, so that 'primary characters of the paintings gave him continuous commissions that their bisognavano to adorn galleries'.
