Painting with Marzia and Paula felt like stepping into memory itself. Architecture became a language of emotion, space turned into remembrance. A truly unique and creative experience , one I can’t wait to return to.

This was such an amazing experience. I have never thought I would ever be able to do :-) I've never seen this being offered anywhere else around the world. Highly recommend if you were interested in creatively trying something new :-)

Highly recommended this experience. Poala and Marzia were delightful hosts and teachers. A beautiful location and one of the most memorable parts of our honeymoon. Thank you and we hope to return.

My morning with Marza and Paola was really magical. What a fresco is was always a mystery to me and know I know! How to prepare and then produce a piece is quite incredible. Additionally - Learning about the process and profession of Restoration is incredible. That is what these two wonderful women do. The workshop is like waking into a litttle wonderland for anyone who love’s Renaissance art.

We left our 17 year old daughter and 13 year old son for the morning session and they had a wonderful time in the class.

Marzia & Paula were wonderful hosts at this fresco workshop. I am not an artist but they were very patient and guided me throughout the process. I found it very peaceful and enjoyable and the few hours spent flew by, I would highly recommend!
