Villa R is a wide, private and contemporary residence for artists. It was designed in 1990 by the two owners, Iolanda Vacalebre and Nicola Rustica, whom have over the years used the villa for artistic, musical productions as well as poetry, and performance.
Since April 2013, Iolanda and Nicola decided to offer most of the spaces of the villa for intercultural and interdisciplinary exchange with professionals (both foreign and Italian). These activities aim especially to the creation of new projects, ideas and artworks in a stimulating environment, in contact with other artists and with nature.
The residence offers wide space for the artistic production of any size and media.
