The Lari Sessions
An immersive recording residency for artists who want depth, focus, and space to create. World-class studio craft in a hidden medieval Tuscan village — analogue warmth meets digital precision, in an environment unlike anywhere else.
Whether you're tracking a full band, writing from scratch, or capturing a live performance — Lari Sessions gives you the studio and the environment to do it properly.
The StudioSAMWorld is a world-class tracking and mixing environment designed for full bands and live recordings.
The studio hosts two spacious recording rooms with a wide range of backline instruments and rare microphones, a control room, and a production room with an extensive collection of vintage synths and drum machines.

High ceilings, and natural timber surfaces and diffusers are specifically designed to provide for warm, highly accurate, and flexible acoustics.
For a perfect balance of sound, moveable sound isolation screens – made of ceramic on one side and sound absorbing material on the other – allow the acoustics to be adjusted and/or the session musicians to be separated.
-
Unique tie-lines connect the studio directly to the local medieval church, the historic theatre, and even the village piazza. Capture the natural acoustic grandeur of Tuscany directly into your session.

From pristine digital paths to the warmth of tape, we offer the tools to carve a timeless sound.
Lari, TuscanyLari is a walled medieval village tucked into the Tuscan hills — 60km from Florence, 25km from Pisa, and largely unknown to the outside world.
Lari is a hidden gem, not a remote outpost. Espresso on a sunlit terrace. A long, slow lunch at the local trattoria. Evening aperitivo in the piazza with the people who actually live here. Time moves differently. That's the point.
AccommodationOur private accommodation—a stunning, light-filled Tuscan home—is just a short, 10-minute walk to town.
Quiet, open, and genuinely beautiful: a private pool, panoramic sunset views, and living spaces made for writing, thinking, or downtime to switch off. You stay here. You decompress here. You come back the next morning ready to work.
