He was employed conjointly with Sansovino: and Boccio Bandinelli, on the works of sculpture in the cathedral of that city. In 1515 he was employed by the monks of Vallombrosa to erect a fine monument to the memory of St. Jean Gualbert, the founder of their order. This work took him ten years to complete.
