Along with Francesco Zuccarelli, he completed a set of engravings on military subjects based on works by Francesco Simonini.[1] Some of his etchings have also been attributed to Marco Ricci.[2]

Zilotti collaborated with renowned artists of his time. This collaboration not only demonstrates Zilotti's talent as an engraver but also his ability to work as a team and adapt to the styles and themes of other artists. It was said at the time that any artwork involving a member of the Zilotti family would be acclaimed. And the fame proved true. Zilotti only participated in works by renowned artists.[citation needed]
