I am so grateful for this unique experience to be a part of the Civitella Ranieri community, and the rich life it has given me. To live in a castle in Italy, and feel the setting of the sun in a way that I cannot do in New York City, to be amongst other artists in a relaxed setting is a gift that I would not have imagined otherwise. Especially during the Pandemic, this experience was heightened  if that is even possible.
