His cousin, JOHANN CONRAD ORELLI (1770-1826), was the author of several works in the department of later Greek literature.
From 1807 to 1814 Orelli worked as preacher in the reformed community of Bergamo, where he acquired the taste for Italian literature which led to the publication of Contributions to the History of Italian Poetry (1810) and a biography (1812) of Vittorino da Feltre, his ideal of a teacher.
He took great interest in the struggle of the Greeks for independence, and strongly favored the appointment of the notorious J. Strauss to the chair of dogmatic theology at Zurich, which led to the disturbance of the 6th of September 1839 and the fall of the liberal government.
