Born in Ferrara, he first trained with Giacomo Parolini, and then with Giuseppe Maria Crespi in Bologna.
For the Oratory of the Theatines, he painted an Annunciation and in the church of St Catherine there are two pictures, one Flagellation and the other Christ crowned with Thorns.
Laderchi stated that his melancholy diverged into madness.
