Google Doodle: Antonio Vivaldi’s Bday
Posted on 04. Mar, 2010 by dimaks in Life, News
Today’s Google Doodle features a dedicated logo for the Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi. This day, marks his 332nd birthday. The Venetian baroque composer and priest was born in Venice in 1678. He was known as the Red Priest because of his red hair.
Vivaldi’s parents were Giovanni Battista Vivaldi and Camilla Calicchio, as recorded in the register of San Giovanni in Bragora.[3] Vivaldi had five siblings: Margarita Gabriela, Cecilia Maria, Bonaventura Tomaso, Zanetta Anna, and Francesco Gaetano.[4] Giovanni Battista, a barber before becoming a professional violinist, taught him to play violin and then toured Venice playing the violin with his young son.
Vivaldi is but one of the honored figures in history by Google through Google Doodle. We have for example the recent Doodle for the birthday of Norman Rockwell.
