RESIDENCIES IN POPOLI
- Welcome / Benvenuti -

Residencies programs give artists and writers the opportunity to live and work outside of their usual environments, providing them with time to reflect, research, or produce work. Hosted by Karin Giusti Studio, our residencies are curated with the intention of carefully suiting individuals to the unique environment and resources we can offer at the artist studio, overlooking the medieval town of Popoli boasting a colourful ancient and cultural history with the springs of Pescara rivers a stone throw away and a one hour drive from Rome.
