He was son of a Matteo, but a relative of Baldassarre Carrari il Vecchio (Baldassarre Carrari the Elder).[1] Corrado Ricci considered him a distant follower of Melozzo da Forlì (died 1494 in Rome, perhaps through contacts with Melozzo's pupil, Marco Palmezzano, but also painting with a style influenced by Lorenzo Costa and Niccolo Rondinelli of Ravenna.[2]
