He was the son of the painter Giovanni Battista Carlone and Niccoletta Scorza. He traveled and painted extensively through Italy. After initial work with his father, he traveled to Venice for a few years. His first works were pictures at the church of the Gesù at Perugia, and the Life of St. Felician in the church of that saint at Foligno. He went afterwards to Rome to the studio of Carlo Maratta. He married in Rome, with the sister of Perruchi, the personal secretary (Maggiordomo) for Marchese Costaguti. His brother Niccolò was also a painter.

gollark: No, I mean that you might worry about the ethicality of everyday actions or something.
gollark: I think this would be likely to cause you to do stuff you consider possibly-bad more than someone who does *not* think about it much and just relies on ethical instincts gained from whatever.
gollark: Let's say you're a professor of moral philosophy and spend vast amounts of time wondering about the rightness of every action.
