He was probably also active as concertmaster at the Teatro San Salvador , where his now-lost operas "Ermelinda" and "Don Chiscotte della Mancia" were performed.

His son Ruggiero Fedeli (* 1655; † 1722 in Kassel) was the most internationally successful of the family. He was initially the bass player at St. Mark's Basilica and played in the orchestras of various Venetian theaters. Since the 1830s he was active as a musician at several European courts, including Bayreuth, Berlin at the court of Frederick II, Dresden, Braunschweig, Hanover and finally in Kassel, where he died and was buried in December 1722 .
