La Gamella is the academy's destination restaurant, set beneath arched Barnabite colonnades among living olive trees, with a contemporary Tuscan cuisine from the local markets. Il Conservatorio, the sunlit glassed atrium, serves all day, while Bar Bertelli, the former headmaster's study, is now a cocktail and cigar lounge.
