Civitella is pleased to welcome Phebe Miner, and Louisianna Tekosky as our 2018 Interns. Interns at Civitella are a treasured and integral part of our community and daily life. They provide assistance with library functions, the meal program, excursions, presentations, and exhibitions at the Castle, working with both Executive Director, Dana Prescott and Program Coordinator, Diego Mencaroni on a variety of special projects built around individual interests, experience, goals, and skills.
Â
From Phebe: I am thrilled to be returning to Italy after five years in Washington, D.C. to assist the staff and fellows of Civitella. I look forward to spending my three months at the castle learning, writing, exploring, and experiencing life in Italy all over again. I have so much to gain from immersing myself in this diverse and enriching artistic community, and I look forward to contributing in every way I can.
Â
From Louisianna: I studied abroad in Viterbo a year and found an Italian host family and a throng of Italian friends who welcomed me so graciously and warmly that Italy became a new home. The love I have for Italy runs deeply and, therefore, I am thrilled by the opportunity to work and live in the country once again.
Â
Working as an intern for Civitella seems like the perfect culmination of my passions. Art, in all its mediums, has been a crucial component to my education. I believe where artists meet is where knowledge blooms. I am ecstatic about joining the Civitella community where I can share and experience how art builds relationships and makes us passionate!
