In the 19th century Vivaldi's name really fell from grace. The four seasons entered a fairly long period of obscurity which only really started to end at the very end of the 19th Century. There was a big rediscovery of Vivaldi manuscripts in Italy in the 1920s and this snowball gradually began to roll. In 1942 you have the first ever recording of the four seasons by an Italian conductor called Bédardo Molinari. He dedicated his transcription for seasons to Benito Mussolini, the Italian dictator. You had a Vivaldi revival starting to get going but at some level it was a bit tainted by fascism.
