Edit ProfileCareer
In his youth, various sicknesses impeded him in the progress of his studies. Around 1686-1687, he travelled to Germany and Florence, where the fame of his father"s merit procured him a most honourable reception from Cosimo III de" Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany. In that city his condition worsened, but he continued to work for as long as he could.
He died in Rome.
