An ideal location with your guitar!
The Acoustic Guitar Workshops started in 2009 by Franco Morone and Raffaella Luna.
The guitar courses take place in Osimo at the “Poggio agli Ulivi” country house. Immersed in the quiet of nature, It’s a suggestive place for the hillside position and the quality of the services offered.
Activity
Aside from the fingerstyle guitar courses, we also produce recordings, musical books, direction and artistic consultancy for events related to traditional and acoustic music.
Franco Morone
His teaching activity has acquired prestige and visibility over time. Many fans use his books and love his music. Guitarists from all over, with different levels of knowledge, attend his workshops. Some of them presently perform in concert and teach guitar.
Structure and hospitality
The country house has single and double rooms. Raffaella, an expert cook, takes care of hospitality. We serve simple and genuine foods, trying to satisfy all participants. To this end, we choose raw materials from local farmers who are attentive to both the environment and health. Whenever possible, 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 Casale Poggio agli Ulivi. From the harvest of fruit trees we prepare organic jams and cakes of irresistible appeal.
Tourist information
What’s around
We are at about 7 km from Osimo, on the hill ‘Monte Torto’. The Poggio agli Ulivi country house was built towards the end of the 1800s. It’s admirable the magnificent hill and mountain panorama: to the south-east extend the Sibillini mountains, to the south-west is visible the profile of the mountain ‘San Vicino’, part of the Umbrian-Marche Apennines. The south wall of the hill is covered with vineyards, olive groves, and other seasonal crops.
