Primavera

Early 18th century. Venice, Italy. The Ospedale della Pietà, a secluded orphanage for abandoned girls, renowned for its exceptional all-female music ensembles — which attract tourists and patrons from all around Europe — is financed by the generosity of benefactors.

Expanding on the novel Stabat Mater by Tiziano Scarpa, the film’s script — which is based on the real life of Vivaldi who was a Roman Catholic priest and taught at the Ospedale della Pietà for almost 30 years — was penned by Ludovica Rampoldi.
