Morphology

Antonio + Lucio + Vivaldi

This is a proper name composed of personal names; knowing 'Antonio', 'Lucio', and 'Vivaldi' only indicates a person's name and does not yield the biographical meaning 'Italian Baroque composer and violinist'. The specific identity and professional role are encyclopedic facts not derivable from the constituents, so a B1 learner who knows the words would not infer the MWE's full meaning.

Etymology

Antonio Lucio Vivaldi was an Italian priest with bright red hair who played the violin and wrote lively music. He is best known for a group of violin concertos called 'The Four Seasons' that sound like musical pictures of spring, summer, autumn and winter, so his name today means a famous composer of violin music.
