Set in a renovated 1850s villa surrounded by centuries-old olive trees, it offers a retreat from the noise of the world, a space where artists can reconnect with their practice, inspired by the deep artistic legacy of the region. Umbria has long been a haven for artists, from the luminous frescoes of Perugino to the radical innovations of Alberto Burri. Here, the landscape itself tells a story of time, patience, and mastery. The residency provides an atmosphere where these traditions meet contemporary creative thought, allowing artists to work in stillness, immersed in nature and history.

Life at The Place of Silence follows the natural rhythm of the countryside. Mornings unfold slowly, with the scent of olive trees in the air. Days are dedicated to work whether in the studio, sketching in the open fields, or drawing inspiration from the medieval villages nearby. Evenings invite quiet reflection, conversations over shared meals, and the serenity of a starlit sky.
