On September 19, 20, 26, and 27, Villa Monastero in Varenna transforms into an immersive journey blending music, history, botany, and landscape.
The monumental staircase, the period rooms, and the botanical garden overlooking Lake Como become the setting for an experience where architecture, music, and nature converge.
The *Sonora* format, created by CoopCulture, arrives at Villa Monastero with ''*Riflessi d'incanto*'' (Enchanting Reflections)-a guided tour that leads visitors to discover the historic interiors and the garden through storytelling and music.
Lasting approximately an hour and a half, the route winds through the villa's spaces and the landscape of Lake Como, exploring their distinct identities and creating a dialogue between the visual and the auditory. The visit is punctuated by musical selections curated by musicologist Giovanni Bietti, enjoyed via audio devices provided to participants.
It is a unique way to experience Villa Monastero, allowing oneself to be guided not only by its history and beauty but also by the evocative power of music and the reflections of the lake.

Admission to the House Museum and the Botanical Garden of Villa Monastero is not included and must be purchased separately.
