Description
The ADSI AUTUMN BALL – Youth Group will be held on Saturday, November 15th, starting at 8:00 PM, at the Palazzo del Monte Baldassini, 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 home to one of the oldest noble families in central Italy, built by an extraordinary Renaissance man: the mathematician Guidobaldo Bourbon del Monte di Santa Maria, a friend of Galileo Galilei and Torquato Tasso (whose footsteps we can still imagine echoing through the palace), who cultivated a circle of elite intellectuals 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 Renaissance locus amoenus—and the Venetian palace, with its magnificent double-height hall that bisects it, opening onto the frescoed and decorated state rooms.
To experience all these spaces, the evening will include an aperitif on the portico, dinner in the lounge (prepared by the award-winning restaurant Lo Scudiero), and then dancing and drinks until late at night.
The Ball will be an extraordinary opportunity to discover Pesaro, the cradle of art and music, and its twin city, 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 evening ball, we propose a weekend program of visits and opportunities for discovery.
