Visiting  Villa La Pietra

Guided visits of the Collection and the Garden are regularly scheduled throughout the semester: the slots are advertised on the NYU Florence Social Networks, at the OSL Office and at the Reception in Villa Ulivi. 

All tours are free of charge and include also historical rooms of the Villa that are normally closed to the public. Sign-up sheets are posted at the Villa Ulivi Reception desk (OR SIGN UP GENIUS). Available spaces will be filled on a first come, first served basis. On the day of the tour, meet at the main entrance of Villa La Pietra. 

We are also happy to assist you with any related research inquiries or academic requests.
