His exact date of birth and death are not known.
Ghissi was an exponent of the Gothic style, active especially in the Marche region of central-eastern Italy.
He primarily painted religious works for church commissions, but little is known about his activities and works except that of the Madonna of Humility, part of a triptych he painted, which now resides as part of the Polesden Lacey National Trust collection.
Other paintings are present in Ascoli Piceno (Church of Sant'Agostino), Montegiorgio (Church of Sant'Andrea), and the Pinacoteca of Fermo.
This paintings were sawed apart and separated during the 19th or early 20th century to be sold, and have recently been reunited.
