Education/Training: father was a professional violinist; was trained for the priesthood at local churches of S Geminiano and S Giovanni while living with his family; probably learned violin from his father
Best Known For: being a virtuoso violinist in his time, and being prone to vanity and exaggeration
Notable Compositions: most famous for The Four Seasons, but also wrote more than 500 concertos, 46 operas, 90 sonatas, and a large output of sacred choral music
Assignments:
in 1703 became maestro di violino at the Pio Ospedale della Pietà, a facility devoted to caring for orphaned, abandoned, and illegitimate girls; remained at the Pietà for most of his life; while travelling extensively, usually to productions of his compositions, he was still composing concertos for the Pietà; moved to Vienna in 1740 to join the patronage of Charles VI, who died not long after Vivaldi's arrival
