Antonio Vivaldi : Concerto No.6 Op.3, 1st Movement Allegro / I Solisti Italiani
Hotel Metropole, Riva degli Schiavoni, Castello 4149, 30122 Venice / Italy.
The Riva degli Schiavoni gets its name from the Sailors of the Schiavonia, today's Dalmatia, who moored their ships here and conducted business and trade. Along the Riva there is the Church of Santa Maria della Visitazione. The church's interior is preceded by a wide hall, which insulates it from noise and makes it ideal for musical performances. The church features a fresco by Tiepolo and a monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, an imposing equestrian statue by Ettore Ferrari erected in 1887. After crossing the Ponte del Vin, the Riva degli Schiavoni, flanked by the vaporetti wharves, becomes a very popular tourist attraction. The Riva also features Palazzo Dandolo and the impressive Palazzo delle Prigioni, built in Istrian stone between 1589 and 1614.
The charming four-star first-class Hotel Metropole is located in the heart of historic Venice, a short stroll along the waterfront from St Mark's Square.The beautiful baroque Metropole Hotel with mirrors, bronze cherubs, clocks and glided chandeliers is situated beside the church where Vivaldi once composed and performed. The friendly and family-run hotel is like a museum of rare artifacts and offers an large collection of musical instruments, and the largest collection of crucifixes in Italy.
