Falvetti was born in Melicuccà in Calabria, Kingdom of Naples on December 25, 1642, but spent most of his life and musical career in the Kingdom of Sicily. In 1670, he became Maestro di cappella in Palermo, and in 1678 founded the 'Unione dei Musici' in that city.[1] In or around 1682 he moved to Messina where he was named Maestro di Cappella del Senato di Messina.
