A brief verse commentary in dialogue between God and the soul; Spiritual Exercises and meditations for Advent (there, 1625) and for Lent (Macerata 1628); the Life of St Francesca Romana (Rome 1626); the Rules and a small Treatise for the pious “Congregation of the Humility of St Charles,” which he founded in Rome to assist the sick in hospitals. A manuscript of his, in which he recounted the providential intervention of the Blessed Virgin through his means in the continuation of the construction of the church of St Charles ai Catinari, inspired his confrere Fr Maffetti to begin (1732) the cult of the Madonna under the title “Mater Divinae Providentiae.” Among his manuscripts is an important Diary of the Servant of God Sister Maria Vittoria Angelini, a famous Roman mystic of the Third Order of the Servites, a disciple of the Barnabites, and buried in their church of St Charles ai Catinari.
