Biography
Biography
The painting of St. Francis intercedes with the Virgin to liberate Mantua from the plague of 1630 for the church of Santa Agnese, but now in the Ducal Palace of Mantua, was attributed to him, but given the date of demise that seems unlikely. He painted for the churches of San Pietro, San Simone, and Santa Croce at Mantua.
Training under Ippolito Costa is recorded. The field of work recorded is painting and art of drawing. Places of work recorded in the authority are Mantua.
