Antonio Vivaldi

About Antonio Vivaldi

Antonio Vivaldi (1678–1741) was an Italian Baroque composer and virtuoso violinist, ranking as the 80th most influential historical figure by the Pantheon project. He is most famous for composing The Four Seasons, a set of four violin concertos representing the seasons, which remains a cornerstone of classical music repertoire. Vivaldi was highly innovative in his time, writing over 500 concertos, 73 sonatas, and numerous operas, playing a pivotal role in developing the concerto form.

In terms of modern digital attention, Vivaldi receives approximately 632K annualized Wikipedia views in 2025. This places his attention level at an approximate 1x match relative to his significant historical importance (HPI #80), indicating a relatively balanced awareness between historical ranking and online engagement. For contrast, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, another composer ranked lower at #132, accrues nearly double the attention with 970K views.

However, this generally stable attention shows a slight decline, with his 2025 views decreasing by 11.9% year-over-year, and his momentum dropping by 6% when comparing Q1 to Q3 traffic, suggesting a slow drift from the forefront of popular online historical consciousness.
