Early Life
Appendini was born at Poirino, near Turin, in 1768. Poirino was then part of the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia. He received his early education in his native country after which he went to Rome, where he entered the order of the Scolopj or Scholarum. The order (Christian Brotherhood) devoted itself to the education of students which work as teachers in the colleges and schools of Italy and of the neighbouring countries.
Having done his theological studies, Appendini moved to Ragusa (Dubrovnik) where he was appointed professor of rhetoric in the college of the Scolopj.
