Of his 11 children, five died very young; only one, Lorenzo, took on his father's profession and became a composer – and a teacher, like his father, at the Conservatorio della Pietà dei Turchini.
He composed several operas but distinguished himself the most in the field of sacred music.(Abbridged from Wikipedia)[1]
