A Letter from the DIRECTOR

August 3rd, 2026

Dear Friends,

We are inspired and energized by your generosity in support of the Fellows. Donations from alumni, current Fellows, and even future Fellows made 2026 our best year yet – we more than doubled our goal, ensuring a robust Fellows’ Fund to support future Civitellians in need of aid. Grazie!

Today, in the swelter of the latest heatwave, we welcome the third group of Fellows to the Castle. We wish, as always, for this to be a generative and transformative time. We can’t wait to learn more about them and their work at the brief presentations on Tuesday, August 11th. Join us!

Un caro saluto from all of us at Civitella,

Heather

Executive Director
