Villa Strozzi al Boschetto, Renaissance villa in Monte Oliveto district, Florence, Italy.

Villa Strozzi al Boschetto is a mannerist villa in the Monte Oliveto district of Florence. The property features expansive gardens with stone staircases, decorative details, and pathways shaded by lime trees, plane trees, and horse chestnuts.

In the mid-16th century Giovan Battista di Lorenzo Strozzi bought neighbouring properties to enlarge the wood called Cafaggio and built his residence there with a large garden. The wood kept its wild character but gained water games and decorative elements in the mannerist taste. In the mid-19th century Prince Ferdinando Strozzi commissioned Giuseppe Poggi to restore the villa and redesign the park, adding the carriage avenue from via di Soffiano and the clearing. After requisition by German then Allied troops in World War II, the villa and park were bought by the Comune of Florence and opened as a public park.

The villa now houses Tempo Reale, a music research and production center founded by composer Luciano Berio. This use shapes daily activity on the grounds and draws people interested in contemporary music.

You can enter the property through three separate points: Via Pisana 77, Via di Soffiano, and a small pedestrian gate at Monte Oliveto. The grounds are well-organized for visitors to explore at their own pace, with clear paths throughout the gardens.

Between the old and new parks Giuseppe Poggi inserted a large limonaia divided by three serliane, a structure for overwintering citrus trees. The villa later housed Tempo Reale, the music research centre founded by Luciano Berio, and until 2011 also Polimoda. On 25 March 2014 the Sino-Italian Design Centre opened here, and the ground and first floors were restored in the following two months.
