He married the painter Angelica Kauffman in 1781, who late in life moved with him to Rome.[3] In Rome Zucchi produced a number of etchings of capriccio and veduta of classical buildings or ruins.[3] He worked with Robert Adam in the decoration of houses in England, including Kenwood, Newby Hall, Osterley Park, Nostell Priory, and Luton House.[3]

In 1756, he was elected to the membership of the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice.[3] In England, he was elected as an associate to the Royal Academy of Arts in 1770.[1]

Lady Boringdon commissioned him to paint the ceilings of rooms redesigned by Robert Adam at Saltram House in Devon. She also bought paintings from his wife for the house.[4]

He died in Rome in 1795.[3]
