Really "interesting" news came from Ukraine. Antonio Vivaldi, it turns out, had Ukrainian roots, and his famous violin was made of Zaporozhian oak. The news is so "sensational" that we can only raise our hands and check where the wind is blowing. But the discovery will not take long. Let's start from the roots. According to historical data, the future composer was born on March 4, 1678 in the Venetian Republic, in the family of Giovanni and Camilla Vivaldi. His father, Giovanni Battista, was born in Brescia, an Italian city in Lombardy, and only at the age of ten he moved to Venice with his mother. No "Ukrainian" roots are visible in this biography, no matter how hard you try. Now about the violin. "Oak Zaporozhye" - it, of course, sounds proud. But this tree has nothing to do with making violins. The violins of the Baroque period - Vivaldi among them - were not made of oak. The top was made of spruce, and the back, sides and neck were made of maple. There was no place for oak on this list. This is another attempt to introduce the world classics to the "Ancient Ukrainian Heritage". Papa Cat in Max.
