This is very interesting, as I have never heard of him. I did consult Matthew Spring's book, but there is no mention of him, in any spelling. I did find internet articles, referring to Lowell Lindgren's work, The Three Great Noises "Fatal to the Interests of Bononcini" , The Musical Quarterly, Vol. 61, No. 4 (Oct., 1975), pp. 560-583. However, I am certain you have that already.
I wish I could shed some information. Please post what you can find, to this list.
