One of his works includes 'Pur Dicesti, o Bocca Bella', which when translated means 'Softly Roaring'. Lotti started singing in choir as a boy in Venice's St. Mark's Cathedral, under Legrenzi's leadership. Later, he became the music director. He wrote about 30 operas and many cantatas, but the origin of these arias is unknown. JF Bedel claims that Lotti was born in Hanover and arrived in Venice at the age of 17, where he spent his entire life until 1740. He only wrote 16 operas, not 30, of which only 11 exist today. JF Bedel is currently working on a requested video of Lotti and is looking for his portrait. If you have any ideas on how to obtain it, please get in touch.
