Some of the sources dispute the identity of Coppi and Meglio. He is said to have painted in Rome and Bologna.[4]
Among his works are frescoes (1577) for the tribune of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome; a painting of Ecce Homo for the church of Santa Croce in Florence, and a canvas of the Redeemer (1579) for the church of San Salvatore in Bologna.[5]
