He was born in Sicily. By 1519, he was in Rome working under
Baldassarre Peruzzi. He likely abandoned Rome after the
Sack of Rome in 1527, and settled in
Spoleto, where he married one of the daughters of
Giovanni di Pietro (lo Spagna). He painted frescoes (ca. 1535) for the Chapel of the Assumption in the
Spoleto Cathedral. He also painted a fresco altarpiece for the Spinelli Chapel in the church of
Santa Maria de Loreto in
Spoleto. For the church in Brizio, outside of Spoleto, he painted an altarpied and frescoes in the presbytery (1541-2). In
Bettona, he painted a
Virgin in Glory with Saints altarpiece (1547), now in the Pinacoteca Civica. In
Norcia, he painted an altarpiece for the Franciscan Convent of the Annunziata, depicting the
Coronation of the Virgin (1541) and other panels, now in the city museum. == Gallery ==
