Apart from his activity in Rimini, he also worked for several centres in Romagna and the Marche (Faenza, Ravenna, Cesena, Pennabilli, Pesaro and Urbino), in many cases, together with his sons (Bartolomeo, Francesco and Raffaele).

He was elected a member of the City Council. When he died in 1535, this office went to his son Bartolomeo, who was also a painter.[1]
