He traveled to Rome for some years. King Robert d'Anjou of Naples commissioned the church of Santa Chiara, but Massucio remained in Rome, and hence came to the construction project after it had been started. he designed the church of Santa Maddalena sul colle Echia, San Martino, and the bell tower of Santa Chiara.
