Lonely Planet review for La Pietà

Originally called Chiesa di Santa Maria della Visitazione but fondly nicknamed La Pietà, this Giorgio Massari–designed church is best known for its association with the composer Vivaldi, who was concertmaster here in the early 18th century – hence its current sporadic use as a concert hall. The original church was located next door, and a few fragments of it are visible in the Hotel Metropole.

    Glorious Music, a Pleasure to the Ears

    classicalcompo recommends this,

    The orphans performing great works of Vivaldi were simply outstanding and excellent players and singers. Although they were hidden behind iron grills, they make my whole experience in the Chiesa Di Santa Maria Della Visitazione wonderful.
