He painted a St Francis adoring the Virgin for the church of the Monache dell’Angelo, and frescoed a Nativity for the main door of the interior of the church of San Giusto. The frescoes on the main door of Santa Maria Corteorlandini are also attributed to him. He painted the altarpiece of St Thomas of the Tribune church.
