It is highly unlikely that Domenico was poor as his father, Alessandro, was a celebrity composer in Europe. In his own career, Domenico was sponsored by the Church (the Vatican, no less!) and by the kings of Spain and Portugal at different times. His portrait was painted by Velasco where he is pictured wearing the regalia of the Knights of the Order of Santiago. There is no biography I know of where he is described as anything but a success, and he certainly was not written of as dying a pauper...
