He followed St. Alphonsus and was professed in his Congregation in 1747. A rector and consultor general, he distinguished himself as master of novices, for whom he composed exercises of piety still in use, and as a diligent and accurate historian.
His Memorie istorico-critiche della vita, miracoli e traslazione del b. Benvenuto da Gubbio (2 vols., Naples 1780); Vita del canonico G. Della Monica (ibid. 1787); Vita del servo di Dio Fr. Gerardo Maiella (ibid. 1804) retain their value. Of capital importance are the three volumes of the Vita ed Istituto del ven. Alfonso de Liguori (ibid. 1798-1803), completed by Fr. C. Berruti with the addition of vol. V, drafted from material prepared in large part by T. himself (ibid. 1857) and then altered by A. Chiletti in the Turin edition of 1869. He also printed a voluminous work on Le api e loro utile e della maniera di ben governarle (ibid. 1798-1801), for which he was named a member of the Accademia Georgofila of Florence and received praise from the Istituto nazionale of Bologna. There remain by him, in the general Archive of the Redemptorists, unpublished manuscripts illustrating the origins of the Institute and its first members.
