Amédée might have been born in Turin on April 7, 1759 but some historians attribute even 1754 as his year of birth. To cap it all there is even some doubt surrounding his surname as well. Might he have been called Razetti?
Due to his father's employment in Paris since 1760, the young Rasetti grew up there and later on studied with Clement, a renowned harpsichordist, composer and arranger, who is also as unknown as Rasetti. After his studies, Rasetti enjoyed an excellent reputation as a pianist and harpsichordist and in 1777 he began publishing his own works. In 1798 he married Victoire Degrenau and the couple had four children with Amédée dying of a liver ailment in 1777 aged just 40.
