Tojetti, who was born in Rome, studied with his father, the painter Domenico Tojetti, and in Paris with Gérôme and Bouguereau. In 1870 he immigrated to America and spent much of the rest of his life living and working in San Francisco and New York City. He exhibited with the Boston Art Club, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, National Academy of Design, and the Brooklyn Art Association. His work is found in a number of museum and private collections, including the de Young Museum in San Francisco. Tojetti painted murals for the New York City residence of financier Charles T. Yerkes, also for the Savoy Hotel, and Flagler College (formerly the Ponce De Leon Hotel) in St. Augustine, Florida.
