Baroque music thrived across Europe, from Lisbon to St. Petersburg; however, Italy is recognized as the birthplace of Baroque music. Venice, a crucial musical centre of the time, played a central role on the continent.
Venetian polyphonic music stands out in music history as it originated from the architectural and acoustic traits of St. Mark’s Cathedral. Venetians saw the inauguration of the first public opera houses, allowing everybody to witness the brilliance of Claudio Monteverdi.
