Acoustic Guitar Workshops: a perfect location to acquire good results in your guitar playing
Acoustic Guitar Workshops started in 2009 by Franco Morone and Raffaella Luna project.
The guitar school is in a country house in the quiet of nature “Poggio agli Ulivi.” It is a magic place for its location and the quality of offered services.
Activity.
Besides the acoustic guitar courses, we arrange more activities such as recordings, musical books production, direction, and artistic management for traditional and acoustic music events.
Franco Morone.
His teaching activity has acquired prestige and visibility over time. Many fans use his books and love his music. All over guitarists with different levels of experience, attend his workshops. Some of them now perform in concert and teach guitar.
Structure and hospitality.
The house has single and double rooms. Raffaella, an expert, and passionate cook take care of hospitality. We serve genuine and straightforward foods, trying to satisfy all participants. To this end, we select raw materials from local growers who are attentive to the environment and health. We are pleased to involve accompanying guests who wish to collaborate in the preparation of food.
A green area of about 3000 meters surrounds the house. Here there are fruit trees, from whose harvest we prepare organic jams and irresistible cakes.
Tourist information
What’s around us.
The House is near Osimo, on the ‘Monte Torto’ hill, a rural farmhouse called Poggio agli Ulivi, built at the end of the 19th century. It’s admirable the magnificent hilly and mountainous landscape: the Sibillini mountains chain extends to the southeast, while the profile of the ‘San Vicino’ mountain, part of the Umbrian-Marche Apennines, is on the south-west. In the southern part of the hill, the farmers grow vineyards, olive groves, and other seasonal crops.
Significant nearby sites.
The house is about 7 km from Osimo, an ancient rural village located on a high hillock. You can reach the Adriatic sea at half an hour’s drive. From Monte Conero, you can enjoy breathtaking landscapes, and have a view from above on renowned beaches such as ‘Portonovo,’ ‘Numana’ and ‘Sirolo.’
Among the other sites, relevant from the historical and tourist point of view: Loreto hosting the famous ‘Basilica of Loreto,’ a strong recall for over the world pilgrims; Recanati, the hometown of the famous poet Giacomo Leopardi. Offagna, one of the most beautiful medieval villages in Italy. Castelfidardo, famous for the production of high-quality accordions, it’s also known for the Museum and the international festival that takes place every year in September. Towards the inland, more internally, the unmissable, extraordinary, most beautiful and majestic Caves of Europe in Frasassi.
