Being in due time ordained priest, he passed his examinations as lector generalis (professor), and successively taught theology in various convents — Viterbo, Fano, Velletri, and Rome. From 1790 to 1791 he was definitor general of the Roman Province. When the convents in Italy were suppressed by Napoleon I in 1810, Annibali retired to Viterbo, and died there in a private residence.
