Mr.Rice encouraged him to be sedulous and industrious, urged him to carefulness and sobriety, and strengthened his religions impressions.

The help and friendship of this good man, operating upon the mind and soul of a young man, whose habits of conduct and whose moral and religious character were only in course of formation, could not fail to exercise, as Bianconi always acknowledged they did, a most powerful influence upon the whole of his after life.
Although "three removes" are said to be "as bad as a fire," Bianconi, after remaining about two years at Waterford, made a third removal in 1809, to Clonmel, in the county of Tipperary.

Clonmel is the centre of a large corn trade, and is in water communication, by the Suir, with Carrick and Waterford.

Bianconi, therefore, merely extended his connection; and still continued his dealings with his customers in the other towns.

He made himself more proficient in the mechanical part of his business; and aimed at being the first carver and gilder in the trade.
