His early training was with the anti-Mannerist Florentine painter Santi di Tito, where he formed a taste for pictorial clarity and the primacy of disegno, exemplified in the sculpture of Giambologna and his studio and followers.
He moved to Rome around 1599 and continued his training in the studio of the Venetian-trained sculptor Camillo Mariani.Mochi was a contemporary of Gian Lorenzo Bernini's father, Pietro, as well as later with the son.
