CERTIFICATE OF PARTICIPATION

For us, the certificate is not just a courtesy document, but a serious document attesting to the actual course of study completed with Franco Morone.
The certificate details the subjects and skills, divided by levels (Basic, Intermediate, Advanced): from posture and basic technique to advanced levels of arrangement, composition, and repertoire.

During the course, Franco will check off and certify only the modules and topics that have been effectively addressed and completed. In this way, each certificate represents a concrete step forward in the guitarist’s training: either consolidating the basics or tackling complex techniques. Each certification is an authentic and verifiable milestone in one’s musical growth and is also useful for curriculum purposes.

      WHERE WE ARE

      We are located on the ‘Montetorto’ hill, about 7 km from Osimo. The farmhouse hosting the guitar courses was built in the late 19th century and enjoys a splendid views of rolling hills and mountains: to the southeast, the Sibillini Mountains stretch out, while to the southwest, the profile of Mount San Vicino stands out, part of the Umbrian-Marche Apennines. The southern slope of the hill is predominantly covered by vineyards, olive groves, and other seasonal crops.

      VILLAGES – ATTRACTIONS

      Osimo is an ancient rural village situated on a high hill. Within half an hour’s drive, you can reach the Adriatic Sea, which offers breathtaking landscapes and renowned beaches such as Portonovo, Numana, and Sirolo from Mount Conero. Among the places of historical and touristic significance, we recommend:  Loreto, which hosts the famous Basilica of Loreto, a destination for pilgrims from all over the world; Recanati, the birthplace of the famous poet Giacomo Leopardi; Offagna one of the most beautiful medieval villages in Italy;  Castelfidardo, famous for accordion production, known for its Museum and the International Festival held every year in September. Heading inland, the extraordinary Frasassi Caves are not to be missed.
