He lived in a variety of Italian cities, including Modena, Rome, Florence, and Venice but was eventually murdered in Genoa because of a suspected elopement with a Venetian senator's wife.
He came from a Tuscan aristocratic family, but was educated in Rome. He was composing music by the age of 24.
In 1677 he was the victim of an attempted assassination while living in Turin. The two men who were hired to perform the murder fled to France to seek the protection of Louis XIV.
His father was Cavaliere Marc' Antonio Stradella of Piacenza. He ran away with and married Agnese Van Uffele, the wife of a Venetian nobleman.
It is said that music by George Frideric Handel, such as "Israel in Egypt" may have borrowed from works of his.
