From April 1726 until his death he sang bass at the church of San Lorenzo in Damaso where he may also have been maestro di cappella. On 14 Jan. 1724 he married Maria Teresa Mazza in the basilica of S. Lorenzo in Damaso; he had numerous children and lived in poverty in a small house near the it:Piazza della Chiesa Nuova. He was a member of the Congregation of S. Cecilia, for which he wrote various compositions.[1][2]
