Scholars have speculated that Michelangelo Braidi came from Northern Italy, but all of his known works are in and around Narni.  The first of these is a signed altarpiece in Sant’ Angelo in Massa (see below) which was painted in 1595 when Braidi was 26 years old.  Surviving documents record that Paolo Pacetti, the parish priest of nearby Taizzano, commissioned an altarpiece (see below) from Braidi in 1598.  He died in the following year, still only 30 years old, and was buried in San Francesco.

This interesting article in La Pagina relates to this artist.
