ITALY: They were used in upper-class circles for composed music like ''sinfonia'' and ''sonata''. A ''salterio'' was bought for the ''Ospedale della pietà '' when Vivaldi was working there; it cost more than a cheap violin, less than an expensive one. Some early 20thC. writers suggest that the dulcimer in Italy was called'' 'salterio tedesco', '' 'German psaltery', but it is clear from Bonanni's ''Gabinetto Armonico'' that the normal word is simply'' 'salterio' ''and that his illustration called'' 'salterio tedesco' ''is of a German beggar girl who played one in the streets of Rome.
