About Casa d'Arte - Italy
- Casa d'Arte in Italy is a traditional Abruzzese mountain house now used as a gallery and residence for artists who are interested in experiencing authentic Italian village life for two weeks. A maximum of two artists can sleep and work at Casa d'Arte. Submitted artworks are exhibited across three levels, including the mountain-view room.
About Our Village
- Perched at 2,952 feet above sea level, Civitaluparella is a medieval mountain town rich in history and tradition. It is home to a unique museum featuring antiques and archaeological artifacts—the only one of its kind in the region—it offers visitors a rare glimpse into the past.
- Here, the mountain villages welcome you with warmth, tradition, and breathtaking views. There are castles, archeological sites, lakes, rivers, and the Adriatic Sea with Trabocchi nearby. This is a region with organic wheat, olives, grapes, and truffles in abundance. The people here hold the motto of Abruzzo dear to their hearts: Forte e gentile (strong and kind).

Her compositions are distinguished by vibrant colors, rhythmic movement, and recurring hues of black, red, gold, yellow, and green. These colors symbolize her commitment to education, her ancestral roots, cultural heritage, and her enduring connection to the force that governs us all. Through each piece, Nicole invites viewers to experience a visual expression of resilience, identity, healing, and hope.
