Life and work

About Ruggieri's life, there is only scant information. On the cover of his Cara non lacrimar he is mentioned as " Citadino Veronese ", on the other hand is mentioned in 1707 in a different document from the State Archives of Venice, that the family of Ruggieri's father descended from Ancona. In the preface to his first Sonatas Opus 1, he described himself in 1689 even as a " dilettante ", ie as a non -lance musician. The Sonatas Opus 1 and Opus 3 differ by a large jump maturity Ruggieri. From about 1700 Ruggieri was a regular fixture in the operatic life of Venice. 1715 Ruggieri was mentioned as Kapellmeister in Pesaro. Today Ruggieri is mainly known because Antonio Vivaldi Gloria RV be Anh.23 and Anh.24, lets end with the cum spiritu sancto joint of Ruggieri. It is documented that Ruggieri in 1725 as an auditor of Vivaldi's opera L' amore in inganno trionfante worked.
