In 1723 and then again in 1724 Vivaldi achieved great success in Rome, with the operas represented for the Carnival at the Capranica theater: in this period the Pope invited him twice to play the violin in his private apartments. To help him in Rome was Cardinal Ottoboni, a great lover of music, and it was in his circle of friends that Pier Leone Ghezzi made the many famous caricatures, including the well-known one of Antonio.

In the meantime, Vivaldi's creations reaped success after success throughout Europe thanks to the press and dissemination in France, the Netherlands, England ..., with numerous thefts and falsifications due to the absence of copyright laws.
