From a young age, Ragazzi displayed an extraordinary aptitude for various musical instruments, particularly the piano and violin.

Angelo Ragazzi (12. Oktober 1750 in Wien) war ein italienischer Komponist und Violinist. Ragazzi erhielt seine Ausbildung in Neapel am Conservatorio S.Maria di Loreto bei Gian Carlo Cailò. Ab 1704 war er Violinist in der königlichen Kapelle von Neapel. 1707 war er ebenfalls Violinist in der Kapelle von Erzherzog Karl von Habsburg in Barcelona. Nach dessen Krönung zum Kaiser wurde er 1713 Mitglied der Wiener Hofmusikkapelle. 1722 war er wieder in Neapel in der Capella reale di palazzo. Erst nach dem Tod des Konzertmeisters Pietro Marchitelli erhielt Ragazzi eine feste Anstellung. Nach der Vereinnahmung Neapels durch die Bourbonen 1734 verließ Ragazzi seine Heimat und ließ sich endgültig in Wien nieder, um wieder Mitglied der Hofkapelle zu werden. Ragazzi gehörte zu den führenden Instrumentalkomponisten Neapels. In seinem Kompositionsstil findet man den Einfluss der Violinkonzerte Vivaldis, aber auch Elemente seines Wiener Lehrers Johann Joseph Fux wieder. Angelo Ragazzi Sonata No.1 in G major I. Allegro II.
