Vivaldi, the Red Priest (Italian: Vivaldi, il prete rosso [1]) is an Italian television film, created and directed by Liana Marabini in 2009, about the life of composer Antonio Vivaldi, who was also a Catholic priest. It shows his relationship with the world, the Church, his spiritual battles and his love for a woman. This co-production between the UK and Italy has two episodes of 90 minutes, [2] and intends to show the spiritual dimension of Vivaldi which is, according to the director, often ignored. [3]
