Venice is on the Adriatic and if Vivaldi skated in the city it would have
been on frozen rain.  However, the Alps, where it gets colder, are not
far away.  It gets plenty hot in Summer.  (Hard for us northern hemisphere
types to realize you are cold right now.) Vivaldi's chatteringly cool
seasons have always been easier for me to visualize than his warmer ones.
