Opera arias, trills, and the dulcet tones of classical music…have you ever been seized with a pleasant sense of awe as you strolled through the narrow streets of the Roma Imperiale neighborhood at dusk? Those melodies that waft from beyond the hedges –and seem so enticing to us – are not recorded pieces but real live concerts. Super private villa concerts. Shrouded in secrecy, the owners of these magnificent mansions share the pleasure of art, beauty, and friendship with friends and guests. An experience reminiscent of the tradition of open-air theaters (teatri di verzura), where entertainment, bel canto (beautiful singing), and good music merge with the landscape. Even if we do not have the privilege of an invitation, it’s nice to know that this vacation ideal still lives in Forte!
