Probable portrait of Vivaldi, c.
1723 Antonio Lucio Vivaldi （UK: /vɪˈvældi/, US: /vɪˈvɑːldi, -ˈvɔːl-/; Italian: [anˈtɔːnjo ˈluːtʃo viˈvaldi] （listen）; 4 March 1678 – 28 July 1741） was an Italian Baroque composer, virtuoso violinist, teacher, impresario, and Roman Catholic priest.

Vivaldi composed many instrumental concertos, for the violin and a variety of other musical instruments, as well as sacred choral works and more than fifty operas.
His best-known work is a series of violin concertos known as the Four Seasons.
Many of his compositions were written for the all-female music ensemble of the Ospedale della Pietà, a home for abandoned children.
Vivaldi had worked as a Catholic priest for 18 months and was employed from 1703 to 1715 and from 1723 to 1740.
Vivaldi also had some success with expensive stagings of his operas in Venice, Mantua and Vienna.
After meeting the Emperor Charles VI, Vivaldi moved to Vienna, hoping for royal support.
However, the Emperor died soon after Vivaldi's arrival, and Vivaldi himself died in poverty less than a year later.
After almost two centuries of decline, Vivaldi's musical reputation underwent a revival in the early 20th century, with much scholarly research devoted to his work.
