It is stated in the write- up that he must have been called "Red Priest" because of his red hair.

he was dispensed from celebrating mass because of his habit of dashing off if he got musical inspiration

It is very sad that most of the composers of great classical music garnered their "fame" posthumously. as well as painters and writers. They were not very well recognized by the public in their own eras. 🤔😪

so sad that a good talented priest like Vivaldi died without appreciation or recognition from the Catholic Church and died just as if he is nothing...

For me, he is the most pop among Baroque composers, much like Haydn and Mozart are the pop stars of the Classical period.
