Cascina dell’Arte – Live-Work Residency Spaces

About Cascina dell’Arte

Open to all who create—sculptors and painters, writers and musicians, performers and dreamers alike. If you are searching for a quiet refuge to nurture new ideas, to immerse yourself in process, and to shape your own path within a self-guided live/work residency, this space awaits you.

Cascina dell’Arte is a place “where art meets heritage.” It is founded with a simple yet vital vision: to provide artists with the time, space, and freedom to focus on the projects that matter most to them.

Set in a restored rural farmhouse in Northern Italian countryside, Cascina dell’Arte offers live-work environments combining historic charm with contemporary artistic facilities, encouraging experimentation, reflection and creative exchange.
