Pinelli learned sculpture from his father and his works generally emphasized naturalness over the prevailing neo-clasical style of the time.
Pinerlli studied at Accademia di San Luca in Rome and at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Bologna and was helped financially by Pope Benedict XIV's nephew but turned his back on the traditional path of religious and history painting and sold his works to the public in cafes.
Most copies of Pinelli's work are in library or museum collections.

Others have been taken apart and sold as individual prints.
