His father was a professor of civil architecture in Genoa and his mother was from a family of merchants doing business in Amsterdam. At the age of eleven he entered the church school at Genoa, where he did well in classical studies and showing a strong taste for literature. He then studied law, specializing in commercial and maritime law. He spoke excellent French. In 1788 Corvetto married Anna Schiaffino in Geneo, from a well-known trading family. Of their children, two daughters survived and married.[1]
