Not much is known about Piazza's life except through his works. He worked in Lodi, Lombardy in conjunction with his brother Albertino Piazza who was also a painter.[1] One work executed by both brothers Saint John the Baptist in the Desert can be found at the National Gallery.[2] His son, Callisto Piazza (c. 1500–1562) was also a painter.[3]
