He was born at Modena about the year 1700. His first patron, Marquis Taddeo Rangone sent him to study first under Francesco Stringa, then to Bologna. He went to Rome, where he died about 1765. He painted an altarpiece for the church of Sant'Eustachio in Rome. He painted altarpieces and portraits, and is said to have etched fifteen plates dealing with Life of Aloysius Gonzaga and Stanislaus Kostka. He also made colored etchings of Bracciano, Tivoli, Visa, and Brescia. He is said to have died poor in Rome.[2]
