Italian composer, flautist, and violinist. Little is known about his
early life or training, although he may have received education at one
of the Neapolitan conservatories. He first appears as a composer of
opera buffa in 1738, when his 'Lo secretista' was premiered successfully
in Naples. His opera 'La tavernola abentorosa' was censured in 1741 due
to its satirical portrayal of monastic life, even though it was
apparently written for a monastic audience. During this period he
attained a reputation as an excellent contrapuntist and chamber
musician. His main instrument was the violin, but he probably also
played the flute, due to the focus of his music on that instrument. In
addition to three operas, he wrote 25 duets for two flutes, concertos
for one and two flutes, a mandolin concerto, and a double concerto for
flute and violin. His style typifies the lyrical Neapolitan opera, with
clear tunes and stable formal structures (mostly ritornello or binary).
