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 coloration. 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.[https://books.google.com/books?id=LZP8JSbY_NwC Guida di Pistoia per gli amanti delle belle arti con notizie], by Francesco Tolomei, 1821, Presso gli eredi Bracalli, Pistoia, page 185-186.
