Pure Chamber, not as complex as Bach's polyphonic style, listening to Vivaldi is as if engulfing myself in the nature, walking into a woods at dawn, with beautiful birds singing, rabbit running, sometimes deers chased by tigers, sometimes with rains, and thunder storms. Vivaldi was my savior in high school years.

Today at the church of the Pietà there remains a vestige of the tradition with an ensemble of young women, Le Putte Veneziane di Vivaldi, (pictured, S. Maria della Pietà ) professional musicians who perform at the church and wear the original 18th century Venetian costumes. Another instrumental group, Le Venexiane, composed entirely of female members, is also associated with the church.
