We can't let the day pass without celebrating the birth date of Antonio Vivaldi.
All year long, we've been enjoying his music, interspersed most notably within our seasonal posts. I absolutely adore his compositions, treasures of the baroque Venetian style. In terms of elegance, few composers can compare.
So, let's take a moment to enjoy these beauties and reflect on the shimmering image of 18th century Venice.

Enjoy!!!
