During his episcopate, he chose Augustinian and Conventual monks as teachers for the diocesan seminary. In 1598, he elevated St. Ippolisto church in Atripalda to the rank of a collegiate church. On 11 March 1599, Pope Clement VIII transferred him to the see of Pistoia, of which he took possession on 27 June of the same year. During his brief episcopate there, he was reported to have refused celebrating the feast of the Nativity of Saint Zeno on 8 December and instead went to his rural episcopal residence, where he died three days later as a result of a fall.
