Biography

He trained in Naples under Francesco Solimena, and in 1689, he became a cleric and a canon of the Cathedral of Cerreto Sannita. In the first decade of the 18th century, he painted altarpieces for local churches, among them: the Miracle of Soriano for the cathedral, a Madonna and Child among Saints for the Collegiata di [San Martino], Christ and the Souls of Purgatory, and another Madonna and Child among Saints for the church of Santa Maria al Monte dei Morti of Cerreto. The latter was painted in a style influenced by Paolo de Matteis.
