[1] In 1732 dall'Oglio was appointed violinist at the Basilica di Sant'Antonio, but in 1735 he left Padua to go to Russia with his brother Giuseppe, a cellist.
Both brothers remained in St Petersburg for nearly 29 years in the service of the imperial court.
He died in Narva, then part of the Russian Empire (today in Estonia), on his return journey to Italy.
Most of dall'Oglio's works are instrumental compositions, but at the imperial court of St Petersburg, in the absence of the maestro di cappella Francesco Araja, dall'Oglio was several times called on to produce music for the theatre.
He was a master of the Italian virtuoso style of the eighteenth century, with frequent use of double-stopping and passages at high positions.
