Bonito left Naples as a young man for Livorno where he met the landscape artist, Gioachinno Beich (Franz Joachim Beich). When Beich left for Germany, Bonito moved to Rome under Orizzonte (Jan Frans van Bloemen). In Naples, Bonito's disciple was Gabriello Ricciardelli (Gabrielle Ricciardelli), son of the painter Giuseppe.[1]
