Alessandro Scarlatti (1660–1725) stands as a foundational figure in Baroque music, widely regarded as the founder of the Neapolitan school of opera. His work helped shape Italian overture form and the da capo aria, influencing later masters such as Mozart and Haydn. Across a prolific career, Scarlatti wrote over 100 operas, more than 600 cantatas, and a substantial corpus of sacred music, bridging late 17th–early 18th-century styles.
