He spent a long period working in England, and made a map of Ireland that was then used in the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. He was sponsored by Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex to draw a map illustrating the Capture of Cadiz, which was engraved by Thomas Cockson.[1]

A set of five maps by the reputed cartographer, Giovanni Battista Boazio, was published in the first printed Atlas of England and Wales by Christopher Saxton. [2]
