Rome's Parco della Musica is home to the Academy of Saint Cecilia. The buildings were designed by 'Shard' architect Renzo Piano. Reportedly the world's most visited music facility with more than a million visitors each year, the structures have been given such nicknames as blobs, beetles, scarabs, turtles, and computer mice.
