Question
I am looking for a work by Vivaldi entitled "SCUOLA", that is all the info I have.

Answer
Well, Scuola is the Italian word for School.  Vivaldi was associated with a lot of schools, but I know of no piece of his named Scuola, or even one that contains Scuola in the title.  That's not to say that there is no such piece.  He wrote A LOT of music, and I don't have access to a complete searchable catalogue of his works (maybe you could search in on of the larger online libraries?  Like the Performing Arts Library of the New York Public Library? Check it out.)

What you may be refering to, though, is an Italian movie called "La Scuola," which feathered a main character, a teacher, named Vivaldi.  Could that be it?
