He was a Baroque composer and violinist born in Bologna, Italy.
He worked under the patronage of Count Orazio Bargellini and held the position of member and President of The Accademia Filarmonica from 1713, and on at least six separate occasions after that. 13 years later he went to Monte here he took on the position of maestro di cappella of San Giovanni and would remain there for the rest of his life, writing religious motets and at least one oratorio. He also attended San Domenico where he was the deputy maestro di capella of Perti.
Much influenced by Vivaldi, his compositions include sonatas, concertos, sinfonias and serenades for various instruments. His works were enjoyed in various countries, including England where appreciation was shown for their “technical moderation, tight structures and lucid character.”
