On 8 November 1483 the artist committed to paint a multi-panel altarpiece for Mariano Ronci as large and beautiful as the 1482 San Domenico di Camerino Altarpiece. The work was not produced quickly, but on 28 October 1488 he signed a contract with Ronci's heir Mariano Meneconi by which he was given a year to paint it in return for 100 florins paid in instalments.

The work had already been moved to the church of San Francesco in

in 1882. That main work, Madonna and Child Handing Saint Peter the Keys to Paradise, with Saints, is unsigned but on the basis of the documents and style is dated to the artist's final phase.
