The GALUPPI FESTIVAL ASSOCIATION (ONLUS) was created precisely to re-evaluate the figure and compositions of Baldassare Galuppi who was born on Burano in 1706, 50 years before Mozart and only a little later than Antonio Vivaldi with whom he rivalled for fame an honours at that time. Unfortunately, in later centuries Galuppi has been almost forgotten and no other attempt before this, either in Venice or elsewhere, has tried to re-instate this artistic figure if for no other reason than that he was the last representative of a musical school: the glorious and eternal Venetian school.
