Biography

He was born in Bologna, and trained under Francesco Galli Bibiena, mainly as a decorative painter for churches. His brothers Giuseppe and Giulio were also painters. The brothers Fillipo (1717-1801) and Giacomo Antonio were sculptors.[1] Fillipo studied under his father, the sculptor Giacomo Scandellari, and later Angelo Pio. Fillipo was named to the Clementine Academy.[2]

He painted a Nativity at San Mattia in Bologna with Pietro Faccini and Niccola Bertuzzi.[3]

At the Basilica di Santa Maria dei Servi of Bologna, he painted ornament around a painting by Vittorio Bigari. One of his pupils was Giuseppe Jarmorini. He also painted in the church of San Procolo, Bologna.
