Domenichino and

Giacomo was trained in his father s studio in Rome; in 1674 he was elected a member of the Accademia di S Luca, which he subsequently served in various official positions. In 1683 the family left for Naples, probably in the suite of Gaspar Mendz de Haro y Guzmn, the 7th Marqus del Carpio, who was appointed Viceroy of Naples in that year.
