In 1755, he was appointed to the post of Kapellmeister at the Bavarian court in Munich where he produced several more operas successfully and a few symphonies. After 1772, his compositional output consisted entirely of sacred music. He was the stepfather of soprano Antonia Bernasconi. His festa teatrale L'Huomo was performed on 14 June 1754, at the ducal opera house in Bayreuth. This one-act tragicomedy was commissioned by Princess Wilhelmine of Bayreuth based on her poem L'Homme, translated by Luigi Stampiglia.
