Live and act
Gallo became secondo maestro at the Conservatorio di Santa Maria di Loreto in Naples in April 1742 as the successor to Giovanni Veneziano . After the death of Francesco Durante , Gallo could not take over his position as primo maestro alone, but had to share it with the cathedral's conductor , Gennaro Manna . When Nicola Porpora began teaching at the Conservatorio in 1760, Gennaro Manna and Gallo were demoted and paid as secondo maestro .
Porpora and Manna left the Conservatorio in 1761 and Gallo was given the post of primo maestro , which he kept until his death. Domenico Cimarosa , Pasquale Anfossi , Niccolò Antonio Zingarelli , Giuseppe Giordani , Fedele Fenaroli and Antonio Sacchini were among the students he taught at the Conservatorio for 35 years .
The traditional compositional work of Gallo includes exclusively church music such as masses , psalm settings, Magnificat , Te Deum , cantatas and a St. John Passion .
