In 1698 he became violinist in the court chapel of Electorate of Hanover, where he had married in the previous year. There is some evidence suggesting that he originated from present-day Belgium because his sons are recorded in the baptismal register as "Bruxellensis" (= from Brussels). In 1714, Venturini was named Kapellmeister, head of the court orchestra, and held this post until his death. He was a renowned composer in his time. He created chamber music, concerts and other works essentially in the suite form. His Concertos Op. 1 were printed 1715 by Estienne Roger in Amsterdam.
