Still drawing this one…Ancora un attimo, la stiamo disegnando…Einen Moment, wir zeichnen sie noch…
In the heart of the Oltrarno district, in San Frediano, there is a centre – the only one of its kind in Italy – dedicated entirely to the fortepiano. Here, amongst the original instruments, visitors have the opportunity to play instruments from the past and study in depth the interpretative and performance styles associated with them. The Accademia del Fortepiano is housed in a building comprising a large exhibition space, offices, a library and an auditorium with a capacity of around 120 seats, where chamber music concerts, lectures and masterclasses are held. Adjacent to the Academy is the workshop, where experts carry out maintenance and restoration work on antique instruments.
