About Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino
Piazza Vittorio Gui, 1 - Florence
“Florence has been waiting for this room since the end of the Second World War, I personally realize a dream that I have been cultivating since I first set foot in this city in 1962. The room is warm, the acoustics are already beautiful, but over time the wood is transformed and will improve again.”
Zubin Mehta

About Villa Castelletti
Via Castelletti 5, Signa (Florence)
The origin of the name “Castelletti” can be considered toponymic because none of the inhabitants from the Renaissance to date bore this name. The first owner of record is the Strozzi family. It is not believed that they are connected with the origin of the villa since it is considered to have been built in the early fourteen hundreds. At the end of the seventeenth century, the villa was enlarged by adding lateral sides, a second floor, and a roof terrace.
In the last century, under the guidance of the owner, Count Leopoldo Cattani Cavalcanti, Villa Castelletti entered a significant period of its history. Transformed into a model farmstead, the most important initiative taken was the founding of the agricultural philanthropical institute.
