How to get to Ongaku Studios
By
car
- From the A1 Highway: exit Firenze Sud.
Once out continue straight for 2km over the Varlungo bridge crossing the
Arno River. AT the end of the bridge take a right. Pass two streetlights, at
the third take a right into Via di S.Andrea a Rovezzano. After 150 m take
another right into Via delle Mulina di S.Andrea a Rovezzano, continue until
the end of the street where on the left (civic number 10) you'll see a iron
gate. This is the entrance to the Studios. To double check, have a look at
the map.
- From downtown: follow the Arno river
in the East direction (i.e. towards Pontassieve). You pass the Saschall
theater on the right and the RAI building on the left. Continue straight on
Lungarno dalla Chiesa. Pass three streetlights, at the fourth take a right
into Via S.Andrea a Rovezzano. After 150 m take another right into Via delle
Mulina di S.Andrea a Rovezzano, continue until the end of the street where

By bus
- The Studios are conveniently served by the ATAF
bus n. 14A (direction "Girone") and get down at the last
before the least stop "Aretina 10" (runtime: about 20 min from
downtown). Convenient stops downtown are located, e.g. at the Santa Maria
Novella train station or in Piazza San Marco. You can buy the ticket on
board from the driver as you get in, but it will cost you more;
alternatively you can buy it in most tobacco shops and newspaper kiosks. You
can check the timetable
here; runs are approximately every 10 -15 minutes. Once at the Aretina 10
stop, get down the stairs of the bridge enter a small road called Via del
Loretino, take a right in via S.Andrea a Rovezzano and a left in Via delle
Mulina di S.Andrea a Rovezzano. Continue until the end of the street where
on the left (civic number 10) you'll see a iron gate. This is the entrance
to the Studios. To double check, have a look at the map.
By bike
- Yes, you can bike to the Studios! And this
is possibly the best and most eco-friendly way to come. There is a new, nice
bike path along the right bank of the river which ends exactly at the
Studios. The distance from downtown is only 5.8 km, i.e. about 25 min slow
bike walk. Once at the end of the path you will see a small paved trail on
your left ending in 5 stone steps. Walk up these stairs and you will be at the
end of Via delle Mulina di S.Andrea a Rovezzano. On the right (civic number
10) you'll see a iron gate. This is the entrance to the Studios. To double
check, have a look at the map.
