Hi, this link shows a Pat Metheny seminar from 2003 done in Ravenna.
Can anyone tell me what institution this was at?
I am a jazz guitarists, looking to find somewhere to rent for a few months 
and just study and practice and compose.
My parents are from Codogne in Treviso. so id very much like to find a place 
in Italy.  My parents have passed away,
and I would very much like to spend a little time in their homeland.  Often 
I wished it was mine.
I am an experienced player and do not wish to enrol into a course, however 
would like to be near an institution or similar where I could find a few 
players to meet up with etc
Is Ravenna a good "musical" city?  Enjoy jazz?
regards
John

Hi John,
it could have been anywhere - not necessarily a music "school" di per se.
Italy is a wonderful country... personally I'd go to Umbria or Tuscany.
My guess is that you would love Orvieto, where one of Italy's most 
famous jazz fests is held both in the summer and in the winter

But then again - it depends what you are looking for.. more of an urban 
environment or do you prefer the countryside?

In Milano there are "La civica" and "Accademia del Suono".
In the second one he could study with one of the most important guitar 
player in italy: Bebo Ferra. He's one of the most amazing jazz player i 
ever seen.
Sorry for my english, i speak only a few word :P

Thank you for the information.
No need to apologise for your English.  Its is very good.  A LOT BETTER THAN 
MY ITALIAN!!!!!!!
I will research a little about Bebo.  Milano sounds good.
Any ideas what cost to rent a studio apartment  near "Accademia del Suono".
Perhaps for 3 months?
cheers

Actually, chances are it was part of the Ravenna Jazz program.
By the way, I believe Codognè is not far from Venice (I guess 30-40
mins by train), which - besides being astonishly beautiful - is home
to the Benedetto Marcello Conservatory and regularly hosts music
events featuring both famous and lesser known musicians from all
around the world - as for the jazz scene, I'm sorry but don't have a
clue; it would surprise me, however, if such a rich cultural
environment was to exclude jazz at all.
I'm sorry about the mistakes, misspellings and other funny stuff that
will keep popping up but right now I'm so tired I couldn't even write
a proper sentence in my mother toungue, feel free to correct me.
P.s.: Anybody here remebers Jerome's take on how and why was the
English language to spread all over the world? ;)

 Sorry for my english, i speak only a few word :P
It wouldn't be THAT bad if you took care to pluralize where
required ;)

 dont know them unfortunately.
If you need ANY help feel free to drop me a line, I know the area
fairly well.
I'm not 100% sure but I think it won't be too hard to find an
apartment there at the rates you're looking for.

Hmmm should be doable IMHO.
Let me talk to someone and get back to you.
G'day ;-)
