Biography

Born in Pergola, Marche, to a family of professionals and bureaucrats, he was likely a descendant of the jurist, Antonio Concoli of Cantiano (1602 - 1680).[2] He initially trained in Bologna under Ercole Graziani and Ercole Lelli, but soon traveled to Rome under the patronage of Cardinal Andrea Negroni. He obtained a post as professor in the Academy of Design at the hospice in San Michele a Ripa, and for which he would also become director of the Tapestry works. In Rome, he was also a pupil of Pompeo Batoni. He became a member of the Academy of St Luke in Rome in 1781.[3] He painted an altarpiece for the church of Sant'Antonio dei Portoghesi in Rome.[4] He painted a portrait of Cardinal Giuseppe Maria Doria Pamphilj Landi.[5] He was also active in Rieti.[6] He died in Rome in 1820.
