Italian composer. He received his initial musical training in Siena
under 'Il Cavaliere de la Cioja' before undertaking advanced studies
with Padre Giovanni Battista Martini at the Accademia Filarmonica in
Bologna. Following his education, he returned to Siena, serving for
several years as principal violinist of the opera orchestra. On 5 May
1765, he was appointed maestro di cappella at Siena Cathedral, a
position he held until his death. During his fifteen-year tenure at the
cathedral, he produced an extensive body of sacred music, including a
complete annual cycle of modern-style orchestral services for Sundays
and feast days. Among his liturgical works, his Requiem Mass for Emperor
Francis I (1765) is particularly noted for its structural and
counterpuntal merit. Although his sacred output remains largely
unstudied, he is occasionally remembered for his secular instrumental
output, notably a 'Concerto con Saltero' (1751).
