A THREE-WEEK RESIDENCY SEMINAR AND WORKSHOP FOR WRITERS, ARTISTS, TEACHERS, AND GRADUATE STUDENTS INTERESTED IN EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ART, RELIGION, AND THEOLOGY IN ORVIETO, ITALY.
ACCOMMODATION & MEALS

The facility features an intriguing architectural history, garden and courtyard spaces, grand entrance hall dating back to the 1700s, frescoes from the 300s-400s, and a chapel that is open to monastery guests at all times containing restored Baroque and Renaissance artworks. Program participants will stay in comfortable and modern rooms within the complex.
