Biography

It has as Master his father-in-law and, its finished studies, it leaves to Bologna where it perhaps worked with Bartolomeo Passarotti.

In the years 1590 it returns to His, where it is dedicated to many works of art crowned, financed to respect the new artistic guns of the Counter-Reformation. It carries out the furnace bridge of Sant' Ansano, evangelist and guard of the city, in the Dôme of His and the high altar in the church San Niccolò in Sasso .

In 1595, it carries out a sight in plan of His which was defined in the 20th century like “a photograph before the hour”. By a still uncommon address in its time, the city is seen “as the crow flies” in spite of the rudimentary means of the land surveys of ground in spite of progress of the Rebirth. The plan is composed according to perfect a axonometric Perspective.

From 1600 to the 1604 it is in Rome where it carries out a retable in the Basilique Saint-Pierre.
