All the composers’ activities and master classes will take place in the beautiful Villa Battistini. At the turn of the 20th century, the villa was the private residence of the world-renowned baritone Mattia Battistini. Today, the villa hosts a branch of the Santa Cecilia Conservatory of Rome. Comprised of two buildings, the villa offers several classrooms and recital rooms with a mix of upright pianos and grand pianos.

Composers will reside in the Villa Franceschini. Lodging and 2 meals per day are included in the cost of the festival.

Villa Franceschini is a completely restored historic villa, dating back to the early nineteen-hundreds, situated on four acres of grounds. It is located in the midst of nature, history and culture in the Valley Santa Reatina, (district of Contigliano), a place of pilgrimage for the neighboring Franciscan convents of Greccio, Fonte Colombo, la Foresta and Poggio Bustone.
