It was in the 18th century that public theaters began to open up, as places for entertainment where, given the limited number of seats, there was a constant flow of people. And Vivaldi, well, he was an <\/span><b>entertainer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and knew the social side of music well. This is what made it very popular, even beyond the lagoon; did you know that <\/span><b>Bach<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> studied and transcribed Vivaldi? Now let&#8217;s take a look at other <\/span><b>interesting facts about Vivaldi.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Let&#8217;s start with the nickname: interesting facts about Vivaldi<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone knows that Antonio Vivaldi was nicknamed the <\/span><b>Red Priest<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. &#8220;But that&#8217;s not one of the interesting facts about Vivaldi.&#8221; Ok, but why the <\/span><b>Red Priest<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">? First of all, because Antonio Vivaldi was a priest. He was ordained in 1703 at the age of 25, and he was red-haired. Nothing extraordinary, you might think\u2026 When he took up his duties as maestro at the <\/span><b>Ospedale della Piet\u00e0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, he was able to dispose of the musicians from the orphanage as he pleased. Thus, he was not only red-haired, but also red with passion, as the slanderers intended. Doubts about his moral integrity were also raised as a result of his &#8220;privileged&#8221; relationship with the young singer <\/span><b>Anna Gir\u00f2<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> during her three years in Mantua.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>The fall: interesting facts about Vivaldi<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5867 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.imusiciveneziani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/antonio-vivaldi-venice.jpg\" alt=\"Antonio Vivaldi Portrait\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.imusiciveneziani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/antonio-vivaldi-venice.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.imusiciveneziani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/antonio-vivaldi-venice-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.imusiciveneziani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/antonio-vivaldi-venice-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.imusiciveneziani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/antonio-vivaldi-venice-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.imusiciveneziani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/antonio-vivaldi-venice-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As rapid was the ascent, so inevitable was the fall, oblivion. Vivaldi was an extraordinary composer and virtuoso violinist, but his popularity also aroused the envy of his contemporaries. It suffices to mention the aristocrat <\/span><b>Benedetto Marcello<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who could not accept Vivaldi&#8217;s plebeian roots nor his intention to bring music closer to the people. What&#8217;s more, following Venice other schools of music, such as Roman and Neapolitan, had begun to establish themselves. In 1737, at the age of sixty, Vivaldi sought his fortune at the court of Austrian Emperor Charles VI, but the latter&#8217;s death in 1740 put an end to his dream of becoming a court musician. Vivaldi himself died the following year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Restored vitality and eternal glory: interesting facts about Vivaldi<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus, <\/span><b>280 years<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have passed since Vivaldi&#8217;s death, and today we consider his <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imusiciveneziani.com\/en\/vivaldis-four-seasons-a-unique-experience-in-italian-culture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>The Four Seasons<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to be one of the most famous concertos in the history of classical music.
