• The first part of his activity around the middle of the century may have taken place in the Salerno area, as is attested by the works around the Crucifixion preserved in the Diocesan Museum of Salerno.

• After 1364 he executed Biblical Stories and the famous series of Sacraments and the Triumph of the Church frescoed in the church of Santa Maria Incoronata in Naples.
• Other works assigned to him by art critics may belong to his pupils or other contemporary painters.
