An Italian merchant and native of Genoa, he was a successful producer of sugar, and his participation in the Portuguese economy afforded him a letter of privilege from King Dom Afonso V on 31 October, 1468.
On 27 November, 1471, by declaration of the same monarch, he achieved naturalization as a Portuguese citizen, as did his relatives, Marco Lomellini and Francesco Calvo. He settled in Madeira in 1476, where he was married.
