Giovanni Veneziano studied composition, singing, organ and harpsichord at the Conservatorio Santa Maria di Loreto in Naples, among others with his father Gaetano Veneziano, who taught there . In 1704 he took over the position of organist at the court orchestra from his father, which he lost in 1707 after the Austrian takeover. From 1714 to 1715 he worked for the Teatro dei Fiorentini, where in September 1714 his opera Lo mbroglio de li nomme aleas Le doje Pope e li duje Lucie e Pascale sotto nome d'Ambruoso was performed. From July 1716, Veneziano became vice conductor at the Conservatorio Santa Maria di Loreto , an office he held until the end of his life. At the Conservatorio his students included Davide Perez and Nicola Bonifacio Logroscino . After the Habsburgs came to power, in October 1735 he became the first deputy conductor of the court orchestra under King Charles III, who later became Emperor Charles VI. appointed. In March 1737 he was given the position of court organist.
Only a few works by Veneziano have survived, although in his role as Vice Kapellmeister of the Conservatorio he regularly had to present compositions for his students. Of his operas, only the music for the sacred opera Giuseppe Giusto from 1734 has survived. His other operas belong to the genre of opera buffa in the Neapolitan dialect.
