Endecameron 2019: Artist Residency at Castello di Rocca Sinibalda
The medieval Castello di Rocca Sinibalda, located in the Turano Valley 70 km from Rome, hosts the Endecameron artist residency from June 30 to July 6, 2019. The castle, built around 1080 and renovated by Baldassarre Peruzzi in the early 1500s, was restored by architect Claudio Silvestrin from 2006 to 2014 and reopened as a national monument with museum spaces. The residency, curated by Enrico Pozzi, explores the theme of what happens after stories end, inspired by Italo Calvino's 'Invisible Cities' and the number 11. Participants—creatives, artists, writers, performers—must reside in private homes and the diffused hotel of Rocca Sinibalda for the duration. Applications require a CV and registration form by May 15. The 2018 edition focused on Boccaccio's Decameron.
