The 2018 New Generation Festival in the Corsini Garden
The New Generation Festival, headlining young talents, is set in the park of Princess Giorgiana Corsini’s villa at via del Prato 58 from August 29 – September 1. The atmosphere promises to be reminiscent of “Room with a View” as formal dress is requested.
Depending how much one wants to spend, the ticket price can include a gala dinner; alternatives are provided by restaurants scattered in park and the Limonaia bar-café. A 75-minute interval is provided between performances for dining.
