Mazza became a successful and prolific sculptor, producing many statuettes and reliefs in terracotta.[5] Mazza's fully finished terracotta statuettes would have been intended for cabinet display in the homes of wealthy art lovers.[6] Prince Johann Adam Andreas of Liechtenstein, an art connoisseur, was introduced to Mazza in 1691 by the painter Marcantonio Franceschini. The Prince and Mazza were in correspondence between 1692 and 1702, and Mazza provided a number of works. The Prince tried to persuade Mazza to move to Vienna, but without success.[7] Mazza undertook many commissions for churches.

Giuseppe Mazza died in Bologna on 6 June 1741 at the age of 88.[1] The sculptor Angelo Piò [8] and Lorenzo Sarti were among Mazza's pupils. A road in Bologna carries his name.[10]
