Set against the backdrop of our rolling hills, just a stone\u2019s throw from the Adriatic Sea, we invite you on a unique journey. This is no ordinary vacation, but a rejuvenating experience where art, nature, and authentic Italian life come together. <\/p>\n
Whether you\u2019ve been painting for years or are picking up a brush for the first time, this journey invites you to slow down and let your creativity run free. Together, we\u2019ll experiment with watercolor, sketching, drawing, and stamping at the most inspiring locations in Le Marche. <\/p>\n

During these days, you will receive intensive guidance from professional instructors at the renowned Scuola Superiore d’Arte Applicata del Castello Sforzesco<\/b> in Milan.<\/p>\n A rich tradition dating back to 1882<\/b>. Founded during a period of social enlightenment, this school opened its doors to make quality education accessible to everyone. Today, it is a close-knit community of people who share a passion for artistic craftsmanship. It is a practice-oriented school where classical and modern visual languages converge and contribute to personal growth and balance. An inspiring safe haven for experimentation. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/angelisognanti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/page-1.jpeg” title_text=”Page 1″ _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row module_id=”belevenissen-stad” _builder_version=”4.26.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”3vw||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_2_text_color=”#442924″ header_2_font_size=”28px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n (Translation: When Ascoli was already a city, Rome was still just a meadow!)<\/i><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”–et_global_body_font|300|||||||” header_font=”|300|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Rome is known worldwide as the Eternal City, but long before the Romans left their mark on the world, Ascoli Piceno was already thriving. The Piceni, a mysterious Italic people from the 8th to the 6th century B.C., made this region great. They were known as brave warriors, but they were also exceptional artisans, seafarers, and skilled farmers who transformed this region into the breadbasket of the Roman Empire. <\/p>\n Their traditions, their deep understanding of the seasons, and their love for the land still live on here today. The landscape of Le Marche\u2014with its patchwork of farmland, quiet roads, and unspoiled nature\u2014gently compels you to slow down. It\u2019s the ideal setting to nourish the spirit, sketch on location, and enjoy the local cuisine. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Day 1 \u2013 Wednesday, September 23: Welcome to Le Marche” open=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Starting at 4:00 p.m.:<\/b> Arrival and check-in at our Agriturismo [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Day 2 \u2013 Thursday, September 24: Cupra Marittima & The Beach” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n We\u2019ll start the day with a visit to the archaeological excavations in the Cupra Marittima Nature Park, beautifully situated with a view of the sea.

It\u2019s an inspiring place to make your first sketches. <\/p>\n After the visit, we\u2019ll head to the coast.

Afterward, we\u2019ll travel to one of the most beautiful wineries in the area, where we\u2019ll experiment with the unique \u201cvinarelli\u201d technique<\/i> (painting with wine).
