He was born in Padua. In 1717, along with his brother Gaetano and the engraver Giuseppe Comino, they founded a publishing house and book shop under the name of Libreria Cominiana or Volpi-Comminiana. The print specialized in high quality classics. Volpi studied philosophy and rhetoric and became a professor emeritus at the University of Padua.[1]
