8th June 1671 – birth of Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni. Venetian composer Albinoni was one of the chief Italian artists of the Baroque period, and composed around 50 operas over the course of his prolific career.

He proved an influential figure to Johann Sebastian Bach who took inspiration from Albinoni's themes.
