About the house:

We take up residence at Casa Carlotta, a historic palazzo in a picturesque village in the Italian Alps. With roots dating to the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy circa 1763, the palazzo was formerly used as a family residence, and hosted artists from around the world throughout the last several decades. Borgo Valsugana is in the Trentino region of Italy, just 140km from Venice. In close proximity to Trento, Verona, and Modena, Borgo Valsugana is accessible by train from Trento, Treviso, Bolzano, Bassano di Grappa, Venice, or Milan.

CASA CARLOTTA is a residency program and creative laboratory that connects contemporary artistic practices and creatives with positive global action, through site-specific projects, curated collective residencies, and social good initiatives.
