Milan, between 1564 and 1570 - †Mailand, 1630. From the dedication of his "Partitura del 2° libro delli motetti" (1599) we know that he was Milanese and a pupil of Claudio Merulo, with whom he probably studied in Mantua between 1584 and 1586.
On December 12, 1591, he was appointed organist of Milan Cathedral with a salary of 400 imperial lire and probably held this post until 1626.
Possibly his first publication was a collection of "Magnificat da 4 a 8 voci con basso continuo" (Milan, 1595); a collection of "Madrigali a 6 voci, book I," published in Venice in 1600, was dedicated to Duke Vincenzo of Mantua.
