His father trained him and as a teenager, he was the organist at the Chapel Royal of Naples. He spent some time in Rome and famously competed against Handel in a keyboard challenge with varying reports of who was better. He spent the latter half of his career on the Iberian peninsula working in Lisbon and ultimately in Madrid where he was buried.
