“Let Yourself Be Tempted”: The New Season of VILLA VITTORIA – Summer in Villa

Florence, May 14^th, 2025. Following the success of previous editions, VILLA VITTORIA – Summer in villa returns from Thursday, May 22^nd, officially kicking off the summer season in Florence. As always, the event will take place in the spectacular garden setting of Palazzo dei Congressi. The slogan for this year’s campaign is “Let yourself be tempted”, which suggests the pleasure and desire to indulge in the many attractions of Villa Vittoria’s new season.

This edition brings both traditions and exciting new features. Among the highlights is the grand opening inside the garden space of the pizzeria managed by renowned Italian chef Romualdo Rizzuti, holder of the prestigious “3 spicchi” rating from Gambero Rosso. The pizzeria will stay open late into the night, providing the perfect culinary complement to Villa Vittoria’s events.

“We’ll initially be open from Thursday to Saturday, then add Wednesday openings, from 7 p.m. until late, with free entry,” said Aldo Settembrini, creator of the project alongside Giovanni Fittante. “What’s important to me is opening earlier in the evening, so people can enjoy the venue without needing to stay out too late.

“I often hear people say that summer starts when Villa Vittoria opens – and perhaps that’s our true magic: connecting the venue to that feeling of lightness and well-being that only the warm season can bring,” Settembrini added. “Of course, there are other key ingredients too – a beautiful, welcoming location that’s easy to reach with nearby parking, a solid team, carefully curated artistic and musical choice and maybe the smiles and joy with which we welcome our guests”.

Opening hours: from Wednesday to Saturday, from 7:00 p.m. www.villavittoriafirenze.com
