Francesco Durante studied under Nicola Fago in Naples after receiving his initial musical education from his uncle Angelo Durante. This period of study with Fago, a prominent composer and long‑standing maestro of counterpoint and composition at the Conservatorio della Pietà dei Turchini, contributed to Durante’s formation within the Neapolitan musical tradition. The articles indicate that Fago was one of the teachers who instructed Durante before he began his own teaching career in 1710.
