Italian composer. Son of Francesco Antonio Gigli and Francesca Paola
Castellacci, the earliest news of him comes from the sacred orders
certificates preserved in the Modena Archbishop's Archives. It is
documented he attended the Schola Doctrinae Christianae from 1716 to
1731. In 1729 he was ordained subdeacon, then deacon (1730) and finally
priest on December 1731. About his musical career it is deduced he
received music lessons by local masters based in Modena, such as
Francesco Buoni and Antonio Toselli. The main composer active there was
Antonio Maria Pacchioni, maestro di cappella at Modena Cathedral and
with whom he probably studied. About 1734 he was appointed chaplain and
music teacher at the Modena's brotherhood of the SS. Rosary. Later, in
touch with Padre Martini, he was elected as a member of Philharmonic
Academy of Bologna. After the death of Antonio Maria Pacchioni, he was
promoted to maestro di cappella at Modena Cathedral a post he held until
his death in 1772.
