• The members of the Accademia dell’Arcadia transport themselves to Arcadia’s imaginary landscape and, following the custom in classical antiquity, gave themselves pseudonyms. The Accademia’s composers and musicians included Francesco Gasparini (Anfriso Petronio), Alessandro (Eterio Stinfalico) and Benedetto Marcello (Driante Sacreo), Arcangelo Corelli (Arcomelo Erimanteo), Bernardo Pasquini (Protico Azeriano), Alessandro Scarlatti (Terpandro Azeriano) and Giuseppe Valentini (Euginaspe Leupinto).
