His father was a musician, and he began studying music at a young age. Mannelli was a talented musician, and he quickly became known for his skill on the violin. Mannelli's early years were spent in Florence, where he studied with some of the best musicians of the time. He was particularly interested in the music of Antonio Vivaldi, and he studied with Vivaldi's student, Giovanni Battista Martini. Mannelli was also influenced by the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, and he studied with Bach's student, Johann Joachim Quantz.

He was known for his use of counterpoint and his ability to create complex harmonies. Mannelli's music was also characterized by its emotional depth and its ability to evoke strong feelings in listeners. Mannelli's first major work was his opera, "La Finta Pazza," which was performed in Florence in 1701. The opera was a success, and it established Mannelli as a major composer. Mannelli went on to compose several more operas, including "La Finta Giardiniera" and "La Serva Padrona." In addition to his operas, Mannelli also composed a number of instrumental works. His most famous instrumental work is his "Concerto for Violin and Orchestra," which is still performed today. The concerto is known for its virtuosic violin part and its beautiful melodies. Mannelli's music was popular during his lifetime, but it fell out of favor after his death. It was not until the 20th century that his music began to be rediscovered. Today, Mannelli is recognized as one of the great composers of the Baroque era. Mannelli's music is characterized by its emotional depth and its ability to evoke strong feelings in listeners.
