He then gained an apprenticeship under the professors of Greek at the University of Padua, Domenico Lazzarini and Jacopo Giacometti. He also studied law under professor Giuseppe Alaleona, obtaining a doctorate in 1736. His aversion to being a jurist led him to run a school in Padua for a few years. In 1745, he was named professor of belle-lettere and eloquence at the University of Turin. He was named the royal antiquarian, and this allowed him to travel extensively.
