Biography

Born in Sansepolcro, Tuscany, he trained in Florence, where he was a pupil of Daniele da Volterra. His most famous paintings are Murder of the Innocents at the church of Trinità dei Monti. He painted the vaults of the Conservators' Apartment representing the Murder of the Innocents much spoiled by restoration.
