He was born in Cremona studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, a contemporary of Pietro Bignami of Lodi. He painted portraits, historical and sacred subjects. He painted a Glory of the Virgin for the Lodi Cathedral. [1] He painted an altarpiece of the Assumption of the Virgin (1834) for the parish church of Roncadello. [2] He painted a duel of Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor, and the Gonfaloniere of Cremona, Giovanni Baldesio; the subject must have had subversive echoes at the time, given the occupation of Lombardy by Austrians.
