Arts and culture
Given back to Siena
Exhibitions, concerts, talks, courses, Christmas markets and themed dinners: the villa is open to associations, institutions and anyone with a project.
When Ga.Vi was granted the concession for the villa in 2023, the aim was to make it a place for art, culture and gatherings as well. The villa reopened in the spring of 2025, and since then we have hosted the FAI Autumn Days, the four sculptures by Alberto Inglesi in the park, the photographs of Giorgia Ceccotti and a piano concert in the cortile.
For your project we provide the spaces and the assistance for sound and video, and we can put you in touch with the catering and music suppliers we work with.
What we host
Exhibitions, concerts and courses
-
01
The exhibition
The first-floor rooms, the gallery and the park. In June 2026 we opened an exhibition of sculptures by Alberto Inglesi and, at the end of the same month, one of photographs by Giorgia Ceccotti. As the walls are five centuries old, before the installation we will decide together with you how to hang the works and where to place them.
-
02
The concert and the talk
In the cortile, with the audience seated under the arches and on the terrace in front of the façade as well. At the end of July we hosted a concert here with a grand piano in the middle. For a talk, a presentation or a reading, the first-floor rooms or the cortile are well suited.
-
03
The course and the workshop
Around the long table for a course for just a few people, in the gallery or on the lawn for a larger group, even for a whole day.
-
04
The Christmas market and the themed dinner
The stalls under the loggiato, under cover, and in the arcaded cortile. For the themed dinner, in winter, we lay the table in the room with the fire lit or under the vaults of the gallery.

05
The visits
We have opened the villa to visits as well. During the FAI Autumn Days of 2025 visitors came into the rooms and into the church of San Bartolomeo, and on 25 October Mario Tassoni gave a talk on Baldassarre Peruzzi and the villa as part of Sovicille delle Meraviglie.
