Civitella was a true haven, allowing me the time to reflect and recharge in the glorious Umbrian landscape. Here, I shared great meals with colleagues amidst laughter and beautiful stories. Here, I connected deeply with my core. All the things I treasured were on ground or in the people I encountered. I played with materials the way I haven’t before and laid the groundwork for future projects. The memory of this place will stay with me for a long time.
