Born in Perugia to the painter Giovanni Antonio Scaramuccia, he left paintings throughout the peninsula, including Rome, Bologna, and Milan.

In painting, he worked under Carlo Cignani and alongside Lorenzo Pasinelli, Girolamo Bonini, and Giovanni Maria Galli-Bibiena, in the fresco decoration of the ‘’Sala Farnese’’ in the ...

J. ''The Roman Imperial Mausoleum in Late Antiquity'', New York: CUP, 2009, pp. 70-'4; 156-'66; 216-217.
