He was influenced by Carlo Francesco Nuvolone (died 1702) but studied and worked with Filippo Abbiati. Together they painted frescoes (1707) for the cupola of San Nazaro in Brolo (Milan). His other fresco was the Night of Hercules (or Heracles) and Hebe (Le nozze di Ercole e Ebe) at the upper hall in the Palazzo Durini in Milan.
