Biography

He was born in Pistoia. He was patronized by Lorenzo Maria Gianni, and studied with Anton Domenico Gabbiani in Florence. For the Gianni family, he often traveled to create a number of copies of originals of Titian, Veronese, Raphael, Carracci, and Andrea del Sarto. His travels gave his paintings a venetian coloring. He painted a Santa Margherita for the church of the Ognissanti in Florence; a St Thomas for the church of San Lorenzo. He also painted in Pistoia and the church of Valdibure.[1]
