The ADSI AUTUMN BALL – Youth Group will be held Saturday, November 15, from 8 p.m., In the Monte Baldassini Palace, in the historic center of Pesaro. As we discover Italy and its widespread beauty, we will gather here to celebrate the extraordinary heritage we are called to preserve, enhance... but above all, to experience.
The palace was the home of one of the oldest noble families in central Italy, built by an extraordinary Renaissance man: the mathematician Guidobaldo Bourbon of Monte di Santa Maria, a friend of Galileo Galilei and Torquato Tasso (whose footsteps we can still imagine echoing in the palace), who cultivated a circle of elite intellectual nobles there. It is among the most beautiful buildings in the Marche, standing at the crossroads between the fortress, with its imposing, square façade, the pleasure villa, with its internal portico and splendid garden—a true locus amoenus Renaissance – and the Venetian palace, with the magnificent double-height hall that runs through it, overlooking the frescoed and decorated state rooms.
To experience all these spaces, the evening will include an aperitif in the portico, dinner in the lounge (curated by the award-winning restaurant The Squire), then continue with dancing and drinks until late at night.
The occasion of the Ball will be an extraordinary opportunity for discover Pesaro, cradle of art and music, and the twinned Urbino, the birthplace of the Renaissance, through their palaces and breathtaking landscapes that have inspired centuries of art and beauty. For this reason, in addition to the Saturday night dance, we propose a program for the whole weekend of visits and opportunities for discovery.
