Biography
Biography
Prematurely lost his parents during an earthquake, he was adopted by the Mondella family (a family from Brescia then part of the Republic of Venice). In 1750, he lived for six months in Storo and towards the end of that year, went to Innsbruck, where he entered the service of Baron Pircher and where he studied at the local university. In 1752, he composed a school drama for the Jesuit order. Two years later, he became director of an Italian opera company, with which he visited Cologne, Brussels, Lille and other central European cities.
