Filippo Scannabecchi he eventually returned to Bologna in 1389. Part of the school of Vitale da Bologna, he was also influenced by Tuscan artists such as Andrea di Cione (Orcagna) and his brothers Jacopo and Nardo. Between 1391 and 1410 he painted many depictions of the Virgin and Child, some of which are signed. These led to him being nicknamed in the 16th century Lippo delle Madonne, and he is among the early Bolognese painters mentioned by Carlo Cesare Malvasia in Felsina Pittrice (1678).
The name 'Muratori', by which one or two writers have styled him, really belongs to Teresa Scannabecchi, a seventeenth-century female painter.
