In 1760 he moved to Vienna, where he enjoyed the friendship of Christoph Willibald Gluck. "The third most important musician of his clan", it is still uncertain whether he was born on 18 June 1723 (to Tommaso Scarlatti, c.1669-1760) as the nephew of Alessandro or in 1718 as nephew of Domenico. Scarlatti died intestate in 1777 in Vienna.
