Nucci seems to have been a castrato and his archive is also a recent discovery. The aria was elegant, almost galant in style, and Orlinski was plangently expressive in the elaborate vocal line which wound its way over the throbbing accompaniment. Antonio Vivaldi's Beatus Vir was commissioned in 1739 for his former employer, the Ospedale della Pieta.
