Following training in his hometown and initial employment in the cathedral, he moved to Casale Monferrato to become a composer in the ensemble of Count Sannazarro. In 1774 he moved to Geneva to become one of the founders of the Société de Musique, and in 1779 he became maestro di cappella at the court of Princess Caroline of Nassau-Weilberg in Kirchenheim in the Pfaltz-Rheinland. In 1763 he returned to Alessandria, and he died shortly after arriving in London to perform as a soloist in the public concerts. His works follow the galant style of Boccherini, but also employ a dramatic colouring in the manner of Tartini; his symphonies reflect the growing taste for programme music. His compositions include four sinfonia concertantes, several symphonies (of which one is titled Le campane di Roma), 56 trio sonatas, 18 duos, 10 violin concertos and six orchestra quartets.
