He was like born in Montepulciano nelle Marche (apparently a neighborhood near Filottrano in the province of Ancona).
Other sources attribute his birth to Recanati, where a presumed nephew, Domenico di Paolo da Recanati, was active circa 1434-1450.
In style, he recalls Gentile da Fabriano or Jacobello del Fiore.
There are two signed works by the artist: A polyptych (1418) in the parish church of Osimo has been attributed to Pietro.
[3] Mazzalupi displays the increasing number of works attributed to the painter.
