Early works of his include Salustia, and Lo firate 'nnamorato, his first success. His tragic end caused a mystique to surround him in the mid-1700s, and many second-rate composers tried to attract attention to their work by passing it off as a newly-discovered work of his; a set of these spurious melodies were famously reworked by Stravinsky in his ballet Pulchinella. For ten points, name this Italian Baroque composer as well known for his death from tuberculosis at the age of 26 as for works such as a Stabat Mater and the comic opera La Serva Padrona.
