He painted a Glory of San Giovanni Nepomuceno (1753) for the church of San Giovanni Battista in Jesi.[1] He frescoed the ovals in the ceiling of the church of Santi Quaranta Martiri in Rome. Over the nave is the Glory of San Pedro de Alcantara,[2] while the transept crossing depicts Glory of San Pascual.[3] He also painted Beato Giovanni of Prado in one of the chapels.[4]
