Born in Naples, Zoboli studied music at that city's Albergo dei Poveri, where his instructors included Paolo Cimarosa, Gennaro Parisi, and Francesco Ruggi [ca]. He concluded his studies in 1843, deciding initially to pursue a career in church music; in 1850 he was named to the faculty of his alma mater, teaching counterpoint and composition.
