He was born in Florence and became a Benedictine monk. He studied singing with Giulio Caccini.

He died in Florence.

He published several books of music, including motets and madrigals. He wrote music in the new monodic style. His treatise Prima parte de' discorsi e regole sovra la musica (1649-1650) is an important source of information on contemporary composers and the rise of monody and opera.
