Support the Cultural Programmes
The British Institute offers a fine programme of cultural events in the splendid rooms of Palazzo Lanfredini.
Currently there are three main programme strands:
Wednesday Lectures. Wednesday evening in our beautiful Library with a View is the place to be for entertaining and erudite lectures on the history, art and life of Florence, followed by conversation over a glass of fine wine.
Music al British. Our heritage Library has a great view … and fabulous acoustics. It’s a fine venue for the top quality piano and chamber music concerts we offer each month.
Meet the Author. The ultimate Book Club, where we invite successful writers to discuss their work with us in the Library. And the conversation continues over a glass of wine.
