Following his mother's demise in 1754, his father converted to Catholicism with his children. During his baptism, Emanuele adopted the name Lorenzo Da Ponte, after the bishop who performed the ceremony.
From 1769, Da Ponte pursued theological studies at the seminary in Portogruaro, where he received his monastic ordination in 1773.
He commenced teaching literature and rhetoric at the seminary in Treviso (1774-1776). However, his radical views and libertine lifestyle resulted in his expulsion from Treviso and Venice, where he had befriended Casanova.
