| ![]() Accademia Chigiana Concerts: Siena. In the early part of this century, the then Count Chigi, head of one of Siena's most illustrious families, tried to visit Rome: he got about 20 miles before a wave of homesickness forced him back. Shortly thereafter he founded the Accademia Chigiana, which organizes a series of concerts held by the world's greatest classical musicians and their students (since he couldn't go to them…) Among other things, the Accademia launched the re-evaluation of Vivaldi that has recognized him to be one of the great Baroque composers. The concerts take place in July, in Mediaeval courtyards and palaces, in the heart of Siena.
![]() Pistoia Blues: Pistoia. Certainly the best Blues Festival in Italy, it's twinned with the Chicago Blues Festival and attracts all the greatest stars. There are special trains from Florence.
