Through his work, he demonstrated a true moral obligation, always manifested with rigor and love, to everyone \u2013 children and the elderly, professionals and amateurs \u2013 closer to great music.<\/p>\n<p>The institution is also recognized internationally for its <strong>innovative and effective educational programs<\/strong>, including the educational path of the Italian Youth Orchestra.<\/p>\n<p>The entrance to the Villa is preceded by an <strong>extensive green area<\/strong> surrounded by tall trees, while on the southwest side is a formal Italian garden with four symmetrical flowerbeds bordered by box hedges, rose gardens, and a circular pool with water lily plants. To the side of the stairs accessing the garden is a terraced greenhouse, and on the south side is a wood-framed lemon house, where a few specimens of bitter orange trees have been planted. The garden communicates through two gates with another lawn space and geometric flower beds. The two adjoining gardens are separated by a wall with terracotta decorations and niches with stone statues. Toward the west two columns with terracotta decorations frame the extraordinary view of the <strong>Florentine landscape<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_blurb title=&#8221;Via delle Fontanelle, 24&#8243; use_icon=&#8221;on&#8221; font_icon=&#8221;&#xf08d;||fa||900&#8243; icon_color=&#8221;#ff0d63&#8243; icon_placement=&#8221;left&#8221; image_icon_width=&#8221;22px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Raleway|600|||||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; body_font=&#8221;Raleway||||||||&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; body_line_height=&#8221;1em&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; hover_transition_duration=&#8221;0ms&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span><span>lat. <\/span><\/span><span>43.79817<\/span><span><span><\/span><\/span><span> <\/span>&#8211; long. <span>11.29297<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/5mc9SvsxG2bXPFoD7&#8243; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;GOOGLEMAPS&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;13px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; button_border_width=&#8221;1px&#8221; button_border_radius=&#8221;24px&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Raleway||||||||&#8221; button_on_hover=&#8221;off&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_blurb title=&#8221;Days and opening hours&#8221; use_icon=&#8221;on&#8221; font_icon=&#8221;&#xf00c;||fa||900&#8243; icon_color=&#8221;#ff0d63&#8243; icon_placement=&#8221;left&#8221; image_icon_width=&#8221;22px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Raleway|600|||||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; body_font=&#8221;Raleway||||||||&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; body_line_height=&#8221;1em&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; hover_transition_duration=&#8221;0ms&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>The exterior of the buildings and the park can be freely visited.<br \/>While the villa inside can be visited only on guided tours.<\/p>\n<p>More information at: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scuolamusicafiesole.it\/en\/home-english\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" style=\"color: #000000; text-decoration: underline;\">www.scuolamusicafiesole.it<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=&#8221;Booking procedure for visits&#8221; use_icon=&#8221;on&#8221; font_icon=&#8221;&#xf1d8;||fa||900&#8243; icon_color=&#8221;#ff0d63&#8243; icon_placement=&#8221;left&#8221; image_icon_width=&#8221;22px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Raleway|600|||||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; body_font=&#8221;Raleway||||||||&#8221; body_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; body_line_height=&#8221;1em&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; hover_transition_duration=&#8221;0ms&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>It is possible to visit with free access the park and the exteriors of the buildings.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><br \/><\/span>Guided tours will be organized during the year on special occasions, booking arrangements for which will be announced from time to time.
