Mancini was awarded Veneziano's job, Porsile was awarded that of the former assistant Domenico Sarro. When Charles III removed to Vienna to become Emperor Charles VI Porsile was not among those immediately accompanying him. He remained a further two years in Barcelona and then in 1714 transferred to the service of the Emperor at Vienna. He remained in Vienna until 1735, where he composed several operas and oratorios.
• opera Il Ritorno di Ulisse alla patria (1707) • La Giuditta • Cantata sopra l'arcicalascione. - the song of a lovelorn fisherman playing a calascione with three extra strings, hence an arci-calascione. • Cantata E già tre volte
