• He was active in his native Florence and the surrounding countryside.

• He was working as an independent artist by 1473, when he painted a fresco of the Crucifixion at they abbey of San Cassiano at Montescolari, near Figline Valdarno.
• In 1474 he painted two fresco lunettes of Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel in the refectory of the Abbey at Passignano in the Val di Pesa.
• In 1484 he painted a Madonna della Cintola with Saints for San Piero a Sieve in the Mugello, now in the Princeton University Art Museum.
• In 1499 Bernardo was paid to modify Bernardo Daddi's fourteenth-century altarpiece in the Rucellai chapel of San Pancrazio in Florence; Daddi's polyptych is now at the New Orleans Museum of Art, but Bernardo's additions are lost.
