Mainardi and his nephew Marcantonio, were pupils of Bernardino Campi in Cremona.[1][2] He painted the main altarpiece depicting Christ healing the Blind for the church of San Facio. He opened a school or studio with Giovanni Battista Trotti in Cremona. Among the pupils at this school were Giovanni Battista Tortiroli and Carlo Natali.[3] Marcantonio was still active in 1628.
