How it works:
The Villa has four different apartments (or
five - if needed) which have private baths and kitchens (one larger unit shares
a kitchen) and private entrances. We hope to balance privacy and self directed
explorations with bigger communal events and to gather like-minded guests
together for trips to attractions and meals in the historic center. We average
the costs of all the different apartments and reserve them for the entire
month to get the lowest rates and to ease the logistics for the hosts. This
helps us have a standard rate for artists and simplifies things overall. Families
with children should be prepared to pay a small additional fee for a cot or
additional bedding if needed. There is wireless internet available in all
of the apartments and the salon.
Artists will choose either 2 week or 4 week stays (we will put two, two week
stays back to back in one apartment for efficiency). Housing costs are extremely
affordable thanks to the generosity of our hosts to make it possible for working
artists to stay at Il Palmerino for as long as possible. Airfare and food
are not included ( But we have kitchens!). The airfare is the responsibility
of each artist. The fee covers housing, the exhibition and party, one multi-course
group dinner with our hosts, and membership in the cultural association which
coordinates events at the Villa.

This is the upper garden / cookout area. Just beyond the willow is a vegetable garden and to the right is a composting station. The driveway / parking for the Villa Il Palmerino is also via an entrance at the "top"of the yard or "campo" and leads to a gravel spot just off to the right.
Evenings
The Salon (more pictures here) becomes the Exhibition space for the "Mostra" or show - the whole lower courtyard and garden hosts the "festa" or party and people eat and drink everywhere
The mission of the Associazione Culturale Il Palmerino is to promote and continue the exchange of ideas and events of an interdisciplinary nature, which have played a vital role in the past tradition and history of Il Palmerino. In a setting which houses works of the past and contemporary creative events, l'Associazione encourages artists from national and international backgrounds to meet and share cultural projects and initiatives, including artist seminars and individual study and research in the fields of Art, Literature and Science.
