Italian violinist and composer. By an early age, for when he was 15
years old, Cardinal Olivieri sent him to Padua to study with Giuseppe
Tartini. He remained there for more than three years and then went to
Rome, where he played so well that rumour credited his success with
causing the death from embarrassment of the violinist Antonio Montanari.
Hearing that Tartini had changed his style of playing, he returned to
Padua and placed himself for another year under his old master. His
admiration for Tartini was returned by the teacher, who spoke of no
other pupil except Nardini in such complimentary terms. On Bini’s return
to Rome a year later, Tartini wrote recommending him to an English
patron: ‘He plays better than I do, and I am proud of it, for he is an
angel in morals and religion’. In 1738 he returned to Rome, the year of
Cardinal Olivieri's death, and remained there until 1747. Then he moved
back to Pesaro where he was playing at the Teatro del Sole until 1754,
when he entered the service of the Duke of Württemberg in a post he held
until 1759. His last years he retired in Pesaro. As a composer, he left
a handful of compositions, none of which was published.
