Where are Vivaldi concerts held in Venice?
Church of San Vidal
A deconsecrated 17th-century church beside Campo San Vidal, a minute from the Accademia bridge. It is the home of the Interpreti Veneziani and is prized for its warm, clear acoustic — small enough that every seat is close to the players. Read the San Vidal concert review.
Church of La Pietà (Santa Maria della Visitazione)
On Riva degli Schiavoni, facing the lagoon. Vivaldi taught violin and composed at the adjoining Ospedale della Pietà, which is why it’s known as “Vivaldi’s church.” Its oval interior and Tiepolo ceiling make it the most atmospheric venue for a Four Seasons evening. See the La Pietà concert review.
Getting to the venues
All the concert venues sit in central Venice, within a 10–15 minute walk of St Mark’s Square, and are reachable on foot or by vaporetto (water bus). Because Venice is small and car-free, you won’t need transport once you’re in the centre — just allow extra time, as the alleys are easy to get lost in. Plan your evening with our concert guide.
