For a musician like Giuseppe Tartini, hailed as the "first violin of Europe" and "the greatest composer of his time," and who was also a music theorist and exceptional music teacher, Venice was an essential point of reference throughout his life, which was in part quiet and settled and in part dynamic and adventurous. This exhibition invites you to explore the professional relationships Tartini developed in the city, highlighting the places where he performed and taught, and revealing the network of human connections he established with aristocrats, clergy, students, and fellow musicians. It also presents traces of his precious musical production, both in manuscript and printed form, comprising instrumental and sacred vocal music, as well as theoretical methods and treatises preserved in Venetian libraries. 

This exhibition is part of a broader TARTINI BIS project in his hometown of Piran and in Trieste, where important artifacts are preserved, promoting cultural tourism through the exploration of music in history.
