Prince-archbishop Markus Sittikus von Hohenems, sovereign of Salzburg from 1612 to 1619 was half Italian, studied in Rome and Bologna and brought Italian baroque to Salzburg. His most eminent heritage is the baroque cathedral and his ''villa suburbana'' – the Hellbrunn summer residence. Due to this prince-archbishop with a great passion for music and theatre, the first opera performance outside Italy was organized in Salzburg. Shakespeare's remark ''The whole world is a stage'' became reality in Salzburg at the time of Markus Sittikus.
