Domenico Scarlatti, the sixth child of the great Alessandro, displayed since a very young age an extraordinary talent for music and an exceptional skill at the keyboard; in fact, already in 1701, when he was not yet 16 years old, he was appointed an organist and composer at the Naples Royal Chapel, with the added task of being the “chamber harpsichordist of H. E.” the Viceroy. After a short stay in Venice, he went to Rome where, starting in 1707, he practised his compositional activity, climbing, step by step, along the cursus honorum of the Roman musical elite, until he became the Chapel Master at the Cappella Giulia at the Basilica of St. Peter.
