Why just learn about music and art online,
why not experience it first hand? 

Located in the Alps, Vipiteno is the most northern town in Italy that grew from an ancient Roman military encampment, later becoming the refuge of both kings and emperors.  Surrounded by spectacular mountains and unspoiled country side, the town is the home of the Orfeo Music Festival, an international classical music festival known for its artistic excellence, and supportive, collaborative approach to creativity. Vipiteno also boast outstanding examples of ancient Roman ruins, as well as Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance architecture and art, such as the Holy Spirit Church built in 1399, and the Reifenstein Castle, built sometime around of before the 12th century.
