Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: in 1758 (Integrated Authority File; Treccani's Enciclopedia on line; Artists of the World Online; Geographicus Rare Antique Maps biographical dictionary of cartographers) or in 1761 (Artists of the World Online; Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
