THE PALAZZO

Duchi di Gallese

Located in the ancient Faliscan territory of upper Lazio, the ancient fortress of Gallese has been a coveted possession of the most important Roman noble families since the Middle Ages.

Renovated in the Renaissance by Pope Alexander VI, the castle then became the property of the Altemps family who transformed it into the current palace. The majestic staircase, designed by Vignola, leads to the loggia and to the internal halls with an important collection of ancient marble and plaster.

In the nineteenth century the palace passed into the hands of the Hardouin family of Gallese who still own it today.

The result of the meeting between the conductor Andrea Marcon and the Accademia di San Rocco, the VBO has been operating since 1997 in the field of early music, especially the Italian 18th century repertoire, and is specialized in performing on original instruments.

The orchestra has performed in the most prestigious stages of Europe, the United States and Japan alongside the greatest world performers such as Cecilia Bartoli, Giuliano Carmignola and Avi Avital.

Under the direction of Andrea Marcon, the VBO has recorded for Sony Classical, Deutsche Grammophon and has received awards from the most prestigious organs.

ANDREA GRIMINELLI

Winner of the most important prizes such as the Grammy and the Prix de Paris, Griminelli is considered one of the greatest flutists on the contemporary scene. His collaboration with the singer Pavarotti with whom he performed in places such as Central Park and Madison Square Garden in New York, Hyde Park in London, and the Eiffel Tower in Paris, is memorable. Griminelli has collaborated with the likes of Elton John, Sting, Ennio Morricone and Lucio Dalla and still performs all over the world both in recitals and as a soloist with orchestra.

NINA KOTOVA

Internationally recognized as one of the best instrumentalists of her generation, Nina Kotova has performed as a soloist around the world, touring the UK, Europe, Asia and the United States. She made her first performance as a soloist with orchestra at the age of 11 and performed for the imperial family of Japan and at Buckingham Palace in London. She has collaborated with international artists such as Hélène Grimaud, Lang Lang, Jean-Yves Thibaudet and Sir Antonio Pappano.

IL PALAGIO

WINE PARTNER

Proprietà e residenza del celebre cantante Sting e di sua moglie Trudie Styler, la Tenuta Il Palagio è fin dal 1500 una vera oasi di pace tra le dolci colline toscane del Chianti. Oltre alla Villa, La Tenuta ospita un’importante azienda agricola che insieme a prodotti come l’olio e il miele, continua la tradizione plurisecolare della viticoltura. Dal 2000 sono stati reimpiantati 11 ettari di vigneti che seguono i metodi dell’agricoltura biologica e che danno origine a vini pregiati i cui nomi si ispirano all’universo rock dell’artista inglese.

Domus Artium is a project dedicated to excellence in the arts and to the recovery of the tradition of families who open the doors of their homes and historic buildings to concerts, exhibitions and convivial moments.
