Open Call residencies LATERA (ITALY) September/Oktober Deadline: 20 Aug 2026 Country: Italy Come and join a self-directed and self-catered residency in the middle of the medieval village of Latera (Italy), in the beautiful and intriguing region of ‘La Tuscia Viterbese’, north of Rome and near the Tuscan border. Here you are in the heart of Italy, between Umbria, Tuscany, Lake Bolsena and the Tyrrhenian Sea. Inhabited, according to tradition, by the ancient Etruscan populations called the ‘Tusci’. Their refined civilisation is testified by precious archaeological finds and extensive necropolises. Sorano and Pitigliano are close by: two villages in the south of Tuscany, in the heart of the ‘Tuscan Maremma’, beautifully carved into the local tuff stone. We are inviting artists for a 2 to 4 weeks residency. Please see the website www.lacasaetruria.com for all info and complete the application form under ‘residency’, letting us know which dates you are interested in. In the selection procedure preference will go to independent and self-reliant applicants. Assistance will be available during your stay. Latera: The Etruscan history of this region and the setting in the medieval village, surrounded by chestnut woods, the Lake Bolsena, and by a multitude of interesting sites, villages and towns, both in the Tuscia Viterbese area and in (Southern) Tuscany and Umbria, makes this area in our eyes a unique and conducive place for creatives to spend time, explore interesting sites and to create. The residency -a 2-floor house- offers comfortable accommodation for 1 artist/couple/2 artist-friends (2 beds available). Painters, writers, photographers, designers, illustrators, musicians and researchers are all welcome. The workspace is in-house and is suitable for working at small to medium sized works. The program is set by the applicant. At the end of a stay of 3 or 4 weeks, it is possible to have an exhibition in the local museum ‘Museo della Terra Latera’, or in a former small church. The village can be reached by public transport, however, residents are highly recommended to come with own (rented) transport, as public transport in this area is very limited and will not bring you to the most interesting sites.

The apartment comprises a living room, kitchen, and workspace on the ground floor. A bedroom and bathroom are on the first floor. An extra (double) bed is available on this floor.
