INVITATION to FRESCO PAINTING - places, times and suggestions to master the art of fresco painting.
Many dimensions exist indeed when travelling. In Tuscany, it seems easier to travel into time, art and within one's soul. Today, for this new kind of traveller, there is a truly unique route. It starts in Florence and reaches places far beyond the usual postcard landscapes.
In an ancient country house, which stands beside a tower of the 1300's , an "artistic space" has been especially conceived to make - physically, concretely , personally - art. In this culturally saturated atmosphere and environment, modern disciples have an opportunity to learn the ancient and unchanged art of fresco painting - six days to dedicate entirely to yourself via mind, soul and hands. It is an occasion to express your personal creative energy with an instrument used by the greatest artists of the Italian Renaissance and which finds its origins in the most ancient civilizations - fresco painting.
"Maestro" Antonio, whose passion for fresco painting has become vocation with constant study, will be your guide in the exploration of this technique which involves all the senses. Small groups, maximum six students, will enjoy this sensual experience even if they do not have a background or experience in drawing or painting. A rich program of activities and entertainment is offered in Florence, just a few kilometers from the "bottega".
Each work achieved in the workshop expresses a very personal sensorial code , both visual and tactile, of its author. Each author will have the great satisfaction of returning to the States with his work and keeping it forever - thanks to the traditional technique well-known by restorers, "dello strappo". The beautiful gift you granted yourself remains a treasured memory
of intense emotions...the fresco painting and the days of its creation will have left indelible traces in your mind and soul. An exclusive cultural experience.
