By an early age, for when he was 15 years old, Cardinal Olivieri sent him to Padua to study with Giuseppe Tartini. He remained there for more than three years and then went to Rome, where he played so well that rumour credited his success with causing the death from embarrassment of the violinist Antonio Montanari. Hearing that Tartini had changed his style of playing, he returned to Padua and placed himself for another year under his old master. His admiration for Tartini was returned by the teacher, who spoke of no other pupil except Nardini in such complimentary terms. On Bini’s return to Rome a year later, Tartini wrote recommending him to an English patron: ‘He plays better than I do, and I am proud of it, for he is an angel in morals and religion’. In 1738 he returned to Rome, the year of Cardinal Olivieri’s death, and remained there until 1747. Then he moved back to Pesaro where he was playing at the Teatro del Sole until 1754, when he entered the service of the Duke of Württemberg in a post he held until 1759. His last years he retired in Pesaro. As a composer, he left a handful of compositions, none of which was published.
