1. Drawing & Painting

The splendid medieval city of Perugia and its surroundings serve as a source of inspiration to people who like to paint or draw.
Antique architecture and the poetic landscape can be subject of the artistic works. The course participants will get professional guidance from a qualified tutor. Whether you are experienced or you want to give it a try; you are welcome to subscribe to one or more courses. The drawing and painting course will take place in the open air, in the historical centre of Perugia. Subjects can be the architectural elements of noble palaces, people in the streets, still lives and so called “vedute”. The course participants can try several drawing or painting techniques at wish: charcoal, ink, pencil, wax pastels or (oil/acrylic) paint.

2. Traditional Italian cooking

The cooking class will be dedicated to the traditional Umbrian cuisine, from appetizers to desserts. It highlights the evolution from country cooking to the most technologically advanced kitchen. We will pay attention to the preparation of fresh pastas and homemade pastries. After the first day, we adapt the course to the needs of the students, asking them which recipes and techniques they would like to learn. At request, participants can cook dishes of the Baroque era, following the original recipes.
