Civitella Ranieri
Civitella is an artists residency program in the heart of Umbria welcoming artists, writers, and composers from all over the world. The fellows are the heart and soul of Civitella and they talk about why art and imagination is so necessary to us as humans and as part of society, as Azar Nefisi says: “Art gives us new eyes.” The spirit of international fellowship is its lifeblood and the architecture and the grounds are spectacular. This short film celebrates Civitella’s 25 year anniversary.
