For 14 years, we have been bringing people together through travel and music.
Opening doors to places that are rarely accessible on your own. Creating meaningful projects that unite people from all over the world. Giving our guests the opportunity to expand their circle, experience genuine emotions, and reconnect with what is so easily lost in the rush of everyday life.
But there is one special date that will never be repeated.
An exclusive gala evening at Villa Palmieri, the historic villa overlooking Florence, immortalized in Giovanni Boccaccio’s "The Decameron". These are the villa’s gardens that the protagonists describe when they say: “If paradise could be created on earth, it would look exactly like this.”
Save the date:
AUGUST 1
Place
Villa Palmieri is one of those truly Florentine aristocratic residences that are never discovered by chance. Set on the hills of Fiesole, with sweeping views over Florence and Brunelleschi's iconic dome, the villa has remained part of Europe's private history for centuries. Over the centuries, Villa Palmieri has welcomed an extraordinary list of guests, including Queen Victoria, Alexandre Dumas and Jérôme Bonaparte, the youngest brother of Napoleon I. One of Florence's largest private historic parks surrounds Villa Palmieri, preserving a side of Tuscany that cannot be bought, recreated or staged.
On 1 August, Villa Palmieri will host an exclusive Gala Evening for a carefully selected international circle of guests. For those who seek not crowds, but rare access. Not spectacle, but meaningful company. Not simply a venue, but a place where history, beauty and timeless elegance come together.
A carefully сurated circle of guests. No casual audience.
MUSIC
A performance by one of the most distinctive cellists of our time, Jodok.
A musician who effortlessly bridges different musical worlds, from Mission: Impossible to timeless classical masterpieces. His unique artistic voice and luminous, vibrant energy are felt from the very first notes.
Ballet
International ballet stars whose strength lies not only in their nearly weightless technical perfection, but also in the sincerity and light that fill everything they do.
“Swan Lake” is the ultimate symbol of the beauty and purity of Russian ballet. “The Master and Margarita” is a sensual, emotional and daring story about the freedom to be oneself, about love and dreams.

The most anticipated moment of the evening: the legendary Plácido Domingo
A name that has helped shape the history of world music.
For more than half a century, his voice has touched hearts around the world. One of the defining figures of the international opera stage. A living legend.
There are concerts that stay with us forever. And there are encounters that become part of our personal story.
To experience Plácido Domingo in the intimate setting of a private evening is an occasion destined to remain in memory. In a place where only a few steps separate the artist from the listeners.
Where music comes to life not for thousands of strangers, but for those who have the privilege of being here, in this very moment.
The moments like these remind us why great art remains timeless.
