Creative Living in a Medieval Mountain Village - Creative Residencies at Palazzo Galli

Located within the newly renovated 18th century Palazzo Galli, the Fontecchio International Airport is comprised of four independent fully furnished apartments with a shared interior courtyard, two work studios, and multiple event/exhibition spaces (still under construction).


1-3 month affordable live/work

Situated between two natural parks, our desire is to serve as a rural nexus of international relations and a matchmaker of kindred spirits - to be a place/space where artists and creative professionals can unravel and lengthen the processes involved in their work while developing relationships with the local community.

At present, the Airport still operates as an independent artist-led initiative following a slow-growth trajectory (“piano, piano” as they say in Abruzzo), organized by myself and two colleagues. We are currently at the stage of applying to the RESARTIS network for international artist residency centers. In the meantime, you can contact me directly to inquire about cost and availability for housing and studio space.

You can DM me here or contact us at fontecchio.international@gmail.com.

*While we prioritize longer-term stays, we sometimes have availability for shorter stays of 1-2 weeks, so don’t hesitate to inquire.
