Born in Parma, he was the son of the painter Jacopo Loschi, and is known to have worked for Alberto III Pio, Prince of Carpi, from 1500 onwards. He was assigned by the prince to be superintendent of the ongoing decorations of the Cathedral, the church of San Niccolò (dome frescoes), and of certain rooms in the castle.
