Workshop in Italy
October 12 - October 19, 2026
Painting, Cooking Classes and La Dolce Vita
Casaprota
Join me on an incredible adventure in the charming medieval village of Casaprota, at the foot of the Sabine mountains outside of Rome, for a week of artistic expression and exploration during the most beautiful time of year.
Our homes for the week will be the beautiful La Tenuta agritourism hotel and the Palazzo del Gatto estate, set amidst the lush gardens, cobblestone streets, ancient buildings and panoramic views of Casaprota.
Paint and explore with me, take cooking classes with our private lunchtime chef at the Palazzo, take yoga or relax by the hotel spa and pool, play golf at a local course or do a little work at the hotel (YES Wi-Fi) before taking a well-earned nap.
We will spend the week in the gardens of the Palazzo and the streets of Casaprota, as well as visiting Le Macchie Winery, the historic Farfa Abbey, and the magnificent ancient village of Cittaducale.
Casaprota
For all its classical beauty and charm, Casaprota is 45 minutes outside of Rome, where we will pick you up and drop you off when we're finished.
