Mazzuchelli was the son of Count Federico Mazzuchelli (Brescia, 1671–1746) and Margaret Muzzi.
Due to poor health during early childhood, he studied at first with a private tutor. He continued his studies in Bologna, where he studied under Francesco Saverio Quadrio, and later in Padua, where he studied under Domenico Lazzarini, where he graduated in 1728.
Mazzucchelli"s father bought the Moggi"s sixteenth-century family house, located between Brescia and Lake Garda, in 1722, and added the central building and the west wing some time later. Giammaria completed the construction in 1753, as stated on the memorial tablet set between the pronaos" central door architrave and the tympanum.
