The Opera, queen of summer, resounds from hill to hill, between the rows of vineyards and the olive groves that gently cover the sides of the Tuscan countryside.
The passion for music gives rise to an unprecedented collaboration between mutual friends and neighbors, united by the Chianti area.
Greve and Radda in Chianti embellish the cultural season under the stars by proposing in tandem a double appointment in the square dedicated to opera.
