Violonista

“He is the name. I am the music.”

Anna Maria was the actual architect behind Vivaldi's sound. History just let her name fade into the orphanage walls while he got the glory.

Music was the only currency those girls had in Venice. It was their way out of being invisible or discarded by society.

“We were a forest of strings.”

The bond between the girls at the Pietà was deeper than sisterhood. They survived by tuning their lives to each other's notes.

Vivaldi comes across as a man who knew genius when he saw it. He just didn't know how to share the spotlight with a girl.
