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]
