he divided his youth between hard study and an extravagant lifestyle. he attended the classes of renowned aristotelian philosopher cesare cremoni in padua and began, before 1623, to gather around him that group of scholars who then formed the accademia degli incogniti. as founder of the accademia degli incogniti and a member of many other academies, he had close contact with almost all the scholars of his time. he and his circle played a decisive role in the creation of modern opera in addition to literary activity, he also took part in public affairs. at twenty he was recorded in the golden book, but his career began quite late: in september 1632 he was elected 'savio agli ordini' and in 1635 he was treasurer of the fortress of palmanova. on his return he reorganized the accademia degli incogniti (1636) and, in 1638, despite attempts to avoid it, he was obliged, as the only descendant of his branch, to contract marriage with laura valier . he was then provveditore ai banchi (1640), 'provveditore alle pompe' (1642), and in 1648 he made the leap to the rank of avogador del comun that he held several times (1651, 1656 and 1657) and 'provveditore alle biave'(1653). he subsequently joined the offices of the state inquisitor and became a member of the council of ten. in 1656 he entered the minor consiglio, that is, among the six patricians who, together with the doge, composed the serenissima signoria. however, he may then have been pushed out of office, as in the following years he no longer held important positions. in 1660 he was a provveditore in peschiera. the following year (13 august 1661) he died.
