Queen Marie Casimire Sobieska settled in Rome in 1699 where in Palazzo Zuccari she staged operas and occasional musical works, highly acclaimed by the Romans. This manifested her social status, political plans, and sublime aesthetic tastes. She commissioned such admired artists as Carlo S. Capece, Filippo Juvarra, and Domenico Scarlatti.
