Subsequently, in 1742, the painter decorated the sacristy, which was subsequently altered. The relationships between the painter and the church of Carità were attested until 1756.
The painter died, according to some sources, in 1774. Few works by his hand are known, which reveal a certain native quality of an easy and flowing brush, as well as a solid compositional fluency.
