Biography
He was born in Savigliano and died prematurely there, due to the plague. Molineri came to Rome at the start of the 17th-century, and is documented there till 1615. In Rome, he was in contact with Bartolomeo Manfredi; but no works from this period are known. His work appears influenced by Ludovico Cigoli and Domenico Passignano.
A self-portrait (circa 1620) is present in Savigliano. He also painted frescoes (circa 1620-1621) in the chancel of San Pietro in Savigliano. He worked for the Dukes of Savoy and also for Amedeo Dal Pozzo, Marquess of Voghera.[1]
