Florence, for example, hosted a brilliant period of musico-theatrical innovation at the dawn of the seventeenth century that led to the flowering of early opera. Rome continued to influence sacred music and for a time became an important center of opera, several types of vocal chamber music, and instrumental music. Venice, a leading musical city throughout the seventeenth century, nurtured the development of opera, as did Naples in the eighteenth century.
