Church of the Pietà - Saint Mary of the Visitation - Concert of Vivaldi music and other from European baroque music.
The project Vivaldi, the Veneto and Europe is based on the uniqueness and historical prominence of the musical tradition of the ancient Ospedale della Pietà in Venice, linked mainly, but not only, to the figure of Antonio Vivaldi. Many features of Vivaldi’s work will be considered, in its various articulations and interconnections with other Venetian and European composers of the 18th century.
In short, a totally immersive experience, to be lived in the magical atmosphere of Vivaldi’s places and the masterpieces of Giovan Battista Tiepolo, in a fantastic journey into the artistic world of a particularly prolific and dynamic period, such as that of the 18th century.

Concert at Vivaldi Church (Chiesa della Pietà) for a night of history, emotions, and music. Performed by I Virtuosi Italiani, one of Italy’s most active and qualified ensembles. Listen to the music where it was written. Antonio Vivaldi worked here as a violin teacher starting from 1703 and later on as a concert master as well as teacher of the Daughters of the Choro. These young foundling girls, whose identitity was kept mysterious being hidden from sight throughout their performances, had been abandoned as newborn babies in the so called scafetta , that is where newborn foundlings were left by their anonymous mothers at the Ospedale della Pieta’ . In this very church Antonio Vivaldi spent forty years of his life and composed his magnificent works , such as the collection of 12 violin concertos Il Cimento dell’Armonia e dell’Invenzione , which includes his masterpiece Le Quattro Stagioni .
