He was several times superior of the convents of Tarquinia and Velletri, until in 1798 he set out for China, arriving, after a long stay in Lisbon and a difficult journey, at Macao at the beginning of 1806. He reached Hunan, his destination, between 1802 and 1803. In a period of political turmoil and religious persecutions, he carried on an active apostolate in Hu-nan, in Hu-pè, in Ho-nan and in Kang-si, where he remained from 1804 to 1812. Arrested for religious reasons in July 1815, after six months of extremely harsh imprisonment, on 7 Feb. 1816 the death sentence was carried out at Chan-xa. He was beatified by Leo XIII with a brief of 7 May 1900. His body, transported to Rome, rests in the church of S. Maria in Aracoeli. Feast on 13 Feb.
