"The only known evidence of his (Natale Resta) existence is one comic opera, Li tre cicisbei ridicoli (text, C.A. Vasini; Bologna, Teatro Formagliari, carn. 1747–8), the libretto of which names him as ‘maestro di cappella Milanese’. The work, which enjoyed some popularity (with further performances in Venice, Bologna and London) and earned contemporary praise (Burney said it ‘had great comic merit’ among the works introduced in London’s first season of Italian comic opera in 1748–9; La Borde called it ‘charming’), is one of the few north Italian comic operas to survive before Galuppi pre-empted the field." James L. Jackman (Grove Music Online)
