The boom in authentic performance is a European-wide (if not a global) phenomenon and so it is not surprising to fi nd it in this country as well. Indeed, many Bohemian and Moravian towns have the kind of atmosphere that cries out for the authentic interpretation of early music in original, “authentic” settings and contexts. The music and the “spirit of the place” complement each other marvellously, and this is naturally attractive for audiences. What is more, in many periods of history the Czech Lands have been an important crossroads of repertoire exchange, and so in the local archives it is still possible to make new and fascinating discoveries, which enthusiastic musicians (who are often also erudite musicologists) are bringing back to life.

INTRODUZIONE La Serenata à 3, RV 690, nota anche con l’incipit «Mio cor, povero cor», compo‑ sta da Antonio Vivaldi presumibilmente verso la fine della seconda decade del Settecento, è dedicata al «Mar[quis] du Toureil». Nel 1982 Michael Talbot, in un articolo sulle serenate vivaldiane, avanzò l’ipotesi – accolta con favore dagli stu‑ diosi e fino a oggi mai confutata – che il misterioso dedicatario fosse identificabile con l’abate tolosano Jean de Tourreil e che il testo della serenata fosse l’allegoria del processo cui fu sottoposto per ordine del Sant’Uffizio romano a causa della sua affiliazione al giansenismo.1 Recenti studi, però, hanno rivelato che tra il 1715 e il 1726 a Venezia visse un certo marchese «Anna Marco de Torel», cavaliere francese, che nell’autunno del 1717 tenne a battesimo Daniel Mauro, nipote di Antonio Vivaldi, nato dal matri‑ monio tra Cecilia, sorella del compositore, e il copista di musica Giovanni Antonio.2 Il suo nome esatto era Anne‑Marc Goislard du Toureil e certamente questi è il «Mar[quis] du Toureil» citato da Antonio Vivaldi sul frontespizio della Serenata à 3.
