Following study at the Conservatorio della Pietà dei Turchini under Nicola Fago and Andrea Basso, he became associated with the Teatro Fiorentini beginning in 1725 as a composer of operas. His first stage work, the opera buffa 'Lo finto laccheo', was premiered there in 1725. By 1736, however, he was appointed as 'organista soprannumerario' at the Cappella Reale, promoted to provicemaestro in August 1737 and to vicemaestro in 1744. After the death of the primo maestro Leonardo Leo in 1744, he competed for the post the following year, against Porpora, Fago and Durante, and on 9 September 1745 he became primo maestro in a post he held until his death. As a composer, his works reflect Baroque stylistic idioms, particularly his sacred music. His output includes 10 operas, an oratorio, six cantatas, and four sacred works, though many others remain undiscovered.
