Born in Solto (Bergamo) on 15 August 1565, died in Bergamo in 1637.
He entered the Capuchin Order in 1581. He served as definitor in his own province and in that of Venice, training numerous disciples in sacred oratory. He defended the rights of the Holy See against the claims of the Venetian government, which in 1626 expelled him. He lectured in theology at the Studiums of Verona, Venice, and Padua (1601–1608) and at the general Studium in Milan (from 1613). He oriented his teaching toward the doctrine of St. Bonaventure, which he sought to interpret according to Thomistic principles. Elected definitor general in 1633, he published *De alme et sacratissimo Trinitatis mysterio in seraph. divum Bonaventurae... paraphrases* (Rome 1633), accompanied by the *Tractatus... de verbis et dictis et modis dicendi in hoc divino Trinitatis mysterio* (ibid., same year), which he was unable to continue on other topics. Urban VIII appointed him apostolic visitor.
