I Tatti, The Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies has been an active research center since 1961. Limited guided tours of the Villa are offered on selected Tuesdays or Wednesdays at 3:00 PM. Please see the published dates below. Each one-hour tour includes the Villa’s ground floor and the garden. Please note that the library is not included to avoid disrupting scholars. Tours are conducted in English, with a maximum of 8 participants.
