Exponent of a family of artists of Northern Italian origin, presumably from Trentino, but active for a long time in Bohemia. Documented in Vienna from 1680, he later moved to Prague, where he is present until 1729.
The coat of arms on the front of the harp with three 8-pointed stars on a blue background is identifiable with that of the Corte Franca degli Art Spaur located in Spormaggiore near Trento.
