Vivaldi's Girls

By: D.P. Rosano

Narrated by: Carl Martens

Antonio Vivaldi's music has mesmerized audiences for 300 years.

A less-known story than his musical genius was the impressive figure that he was in Venetian society; the young, red-haired prodigy could make women swoon with the sweeping grandeur of his violin performances - especially after he traded in his priest's robes for the dashing attire of a celebrity.

Through the words of his lifelong friend, Domenico Trapensi, Vivaldi's Girls tells the mesmerizing story of Vivaldi's time as a music teacher at Venice's Conservatorio, of those who fell for more than just his violin lessons, and of his romancing of other girls on the road to the Italian cities in his time.

"Vivaldi's Girls is a rich period piece. This novella isn't short on what makes a captivating tale. Rosano's research is unmistakable in the vivid descriptions and details that bring to life Vivaldi's music and affairs and the beauty of 18th-century Venice." (Ambassador Magazine)
