The church of Santa Eulalia in Borso del Grappa has an Apollonio painting of Christ ascending above Saints Giustina, John the Evangelist, and Prosdocimus.[1] Giacomo trained the painters Nicola de' Nicoli[2] and Marcantonio Dordi. His nephew Marcantonio Apollonio (died 1729) is described as a mediocre painter.[3]
