---
Italian composer and violinist. Following early studies in Milan, he
joined the Franciscan Order of the Friars Minor obtaining the title of
abbé. In 1759 he was appointed as maestro di cappella of the cathedral
in Como, but he was absent for long periods touring France and England.
In 1764 he was employed at the court of William V of Orange in The
Hague, where his students included Josina van Aerssen. In 1780 he
returned to Como, where he remained, being pensioned in 1798. His main
claim to fame was a treatise written for a Neapolitan conservatory
titled 'Méthode ou recueil des connaissances élémentaires pour le
forte-piano ou clavecin', published in 1786 and purported to be done in
collaboration with the then-late Johann Christian Bach. His own music
includes 15 symphonies, three sinfonia concertantes, two concertos, 12
trios, 12 trio sonatas, six quintets, six string quartets, a number of
chamber works, two Masses, a Requiem sequence, and six ariettas.
