Music is not an exact science, the same for everyone, always and everywhere. On the contrary, it reflects moods, social interactions and the context in which it is spread and listened to. And if it respects these rules, it creates emotions and memories.
It is also important for Rocco Forte Hotels to get in touch with the place to make the atmosphere of a particular city alive.
Precisely, quoting Sir Rocco Forte: "Something different. Something special. Something unique. "I created this Music Experience.
It is different because it mixes different styles, rhythms and musical periods, bringing them together under a principle of listening consistency. It can only be created with a clear goal ahead and a rigorous path to achieve it. Otherwise, it becomes a collection without a soul or a jukebox without emotions.
It is special because our traditions are special. The sound story that is told in HOTEL SAVOY'S ITALIAN MUSIC JOURNEY revolves around the five tracks, therefore the traditions, which strongly identify our territory: the artists (Mina), the cinema (Morricone - film music, Sophia Loren - actress, Amarcord - film), the Italian music in the world (Volare and Tu Vo Fa L'americano). Five songs out of 18, not one more (so the desire remains), nor one less (it would be too simplistic).
It is unique because this Music Experience was created "ad hoc" for the Hotel Savoy, Florence.
All that's left to do is listening to it ... Happy listening!

Agrigento’s roots run as deep as the gnarled olive trees that dot its landscape, stretching back over 2,500 years to its founding as Akragas, one of the greatest cities of the ancient Greek world. Set against a breathtaking coastline, this once thriving cultural and political hub was praised by the Greek poet Pindar as “the most beautiful city of mortals”. Today, this splendour is immortalised in the Valley of the Temples.
In 1925, a world still shell-shocked from the ravages of World War I found renewal in a burgeoning artistic movement: Art Deco. It reflected motion, progress, the future. Immediately embraced by famed Belgian architect Victor Horta, he laid the foundations for Art Deco in Brussels with his plans for the Centre of Fine Arts (Bozar). This marked the inception of a radically modern approach to architecture and art in the city. Now, as Brussels marks a century of Art Deco style, it’s the perfect time to explore this distinctly walkable city with your own budding artists.
Along Italy’s dazzling southern coastline, two Rocco Forte Hotel retreats prepare to welcome spring’s arrival. Each destination, from Puglia’s rolling hills to the sugary shores of Sciacca, exudes charm and space to unwind while offering personalised onsite activities and local experiences.
