WORKSHOP TOPIC AND MORE DETAILS

COMING UP SOON !

Discover the art of calligraphy in an exclusive five-day workshop led by Massimo Polello. This residential workshop will be at the historic Certosa 1515, a 16th century convent nestled next to the lakes of Avigliana, a 40 minutes drive from Turin city center.

This unique event offers a deep dive into the silence and peace of a place steeped in history and art, ideal for inspiring your creativity.

Students will stay at the convent. Certosa 1515, surrounded by lush greenery, with its ancient monastic cells overlooking the valley and the cloister of the church, provides an unparalleled residential experience. You will sleep where monks once sought refuge and contemplation, surrounded by artworks that narrate centuries of devotion and culture.

During your stay, you will enjoy fresh, authentic foods prepared with local products that will delight your palate and enrich the sensory experience of the workshop.

Additionally, a guided tour is planned to the nearby 10th century Abbey of the Sacra di San Michele, a historic symbol of Piedmont. This excursion will allow you to briefly explore the history of one of the most fascinating spiritual sites in Italy. https://sacradisanmichele.com/en/la-sacra/

Lastly, the proximity to the city of Turin, the first capital of Italy with an international airport, makes arrival and departure convenient. You may also consider extending your trip to discover the cultural and architectural wonders of this historic metropolis, or the beautiful Piedmont Region before or after the workshop.

Join us for a journey through the beauty of calligraphy, in a setting that celebrates history, art, and tranquility.
