He is considered to be the most famous tenor of the 19th century. He was the son of General di Candia. His career as a singer was the result of accidental circumstances. While serving as an officer in the Sardinian army he was imprisoned at Cagliari for some trifling offence. When his period of confinement was over, he resigned his commission. His resignation was refused, and he fled to Paris. There his success as an amateur vocalist produced an offer of an engagement at the Opera. He studied singing for two years under M. Ponchard and Signer Bordogni, and made his debut in 1838 as the hero of Meyerbeer's Robert le Diable.

His success was immediate and complete, but he did not stay long at the Opera. In 1839 he joined the company of the Theatre Italien, which then included Maria Malibran, Sontag Persiani and Giulia Grisi, Rubini, Tamburini and Lablache. His first appearance here was made in the character of Nemorino in Donizetti's L'Elisir d'Amore. He sang in London for the first time in the same year. His success in Italian opera far surpassec that which he had won in French, and in a short time he acquirec a European reputation. He had a handsome face and a graceful figure, and his voice, though less powerful than that of Rubin or that of Tamberlik, had a velvety softness and richness which have never been equalled. Experience gave him ease as an actor, but he never excelled in tragic parts. He was an ideal stage lover, and he retained the grace and charm of youth long after his voice had begun to show signs of decay. He created very few new parts, that of Ernesto in Don Pasquale (1843) being perhaps the only one deserving of mention. Among the most successful of his other parts were Otello in Rossini's opera of that name, Gennaro in Lucrezia Borgia, Alamviva in Il Barbiere di Siviglia, Fernando in La favorite, and Manrico in Trovatore.
