What to know about music in Tuscany
- Many Tuscan venues stop amplified outdoor music between 11pm and 1am, with an indoor space (cellar, limonaia or hall) for the rest of the party.
- Rural villas often have power some distance from the best set-up spots, so musicians need extension cables or battery-powered sound.
- Aperitivo music matters here: folk trios, jazz bands and DJ-plus-sax sets are popular in the golden hour.
- September, June and May are the busiest months, so book early for those dates.
