Some of the artworks produced were a wooden crucifix for the high altar for the Hospital of Sto Spirito, and marble statuettes for the Arca di San Domenico. He eventually ended up in Rome in 1499, where he created the St. Peter’s Pieta. The Pieta was a sculpture of the seated Madonna holding Christ’s dead body in her arms.
