Career
Career
In 1844, one of his first commissions was for a Madonna della Cintura for the Convent of the Madonna della Neve in Frosinone. In 1854, he began to paint a ceiling for the Certosa di Trisulti located in Collepardo, province of Frosinone. Much of his life's output after 1859 was for the Certosa, including canvases for the church, lunettes, and eclectic frescoes for the pharmacy. He also painted a Testa anatomica (1854), located now in the Museo di Storia della Medicina of the Sapienza University of Rome in Rome. He painted an Immaculate Conception (1877) for the Church of the Consolazione in Collepardo, now on display in a chapel of the parish church of Santissimi Salvatore. Filippo died in Alatri in 1890.
