There is little information about his education and youth. Having taken minor orders and the title of abbot, he abandoned his homeland at a very young age.
He immediately came into contact with the Venetian publishing world. In 1775 he was a proofreader in the large printing house of Antonio Zatta, with whom he always remained on good terms. At the same time he practiced cartography and dedicated himself to geographical studies.
