He was born and raised in Bologna, where he premiered his first work (an oratorio) in 1699 and was trained as an organist. He moved to Padua in 1714 and in 1736 succeeded Antonio Lotti as chief organist at St Mark's Basilica in Venice. In 1740 he became Vice Maestro of the Cappella Marciana. From 1732 to 1739 he was choirmaster of Venice's Ospedale dei Mendicanti, one of the era's most prestigious music schools.
