Ambrosi was born in Torino in 1845 and studied with maestra Candiani. At the begining, he took part in concerts in Torino at the
Circolo degli Artisti and at the Accademia Filarmonica.
There, he was heard by a wealthy Swedish businessman who convinced him to move to Sweden, where he made his debut in 1868 at
