In the course of these studies, he also dedicated himself to the study of music, inspired to do so after reading a musical text on counterpoint by P. Francesco Maria Angeli. Following his studies, he became organist in the Treviso friary. Although he spent time in other friaries, he also returned to Treviso and died there in 1711 or thereabouts.
