Biografia
RUC is an international artist residency, welcoming artists, musicians and writers from all over the world.
RUC supports multicultural dialogue and interdisciplinary exchange between international artists and local traditions in a rural dimension that offers artistic time in solitude and exchanges between peers.
Sited in a remote location, RUC's isolated beauty is the ideal environment for intellectual work and creates optimal conditions for concentration and creativity, international exchange, friendship, and mutual understanding.
RUC is an estate of 8 hectares (around 20 acres) on the hills, ringed by higher mountains, with a wide meadow and wooded area, a vegetable garden, several fruit trees, and vineyards that produce very refined wines with innovative methods. On this property there are 3 country houses creating a tiny rural community, and 2 villas where artists are hosted, Villa Amati, and Casetta. Headquarters are located at Villa Amati, an early 19thcentury house that offers wide and bright rooms, and studios in a unique set of inspirational common spaces, and a newly restored dependance called the Casetta, a country house with comfort and charme.
All residents will enjoy full use of the property and all of its amenities, gardens, courtyards, and common spaces.
Residency periods may vary from a minimum of 1 week to a maximum of 3 weeks, from May to October.
