Italy's only complete experience in a private villa setting: concert, gourmet dinner and authentic hospitality in tenor Alessandro Fantini's historic home. Everything in one location, no venue changes required.
Villa InCanto offers Italy's only complete opera and Roman cuisine experience in a single private villa location: 4 hours of pure magic in tenor Alessandro Fantini's historic home, just minutes from Rome.
While other Rome events require transportation between historic palace and restaurant, or offer outdoor concerts with weather-dependent acoustics, everything at Villa InCanto takes place in the elegant halls of tenor Alessandro Fantini's private villa. Not separate commercial locations, but the actual family home where Alessandro and his wife Lucia Carlotta Villa personally welcome guests.
Villa InCanto is a residence built over a century ago and documented since the 1920s, nestled in the green of Veio Archaeological Park. It's Italy's only complete experience in a private villa setting: no venue changes, ideal acoustics, guaranteed intimacy in the tenor's home where he and his wife welcome you as family friends.
Only 16 guests per evening to ensure an intimate and personalized atmosphere, away from Rome's mass tourism.
