The Location
The workshop will be held in the village of San Donato, a small hamlet
clustered around a tiny Romanesque church. Four kilometres from San
Gimignano, in the heart of the Chianti region, it is well situated in
relation to Florence, Siena, Voltera, Pisa, and Lucca. The setting
represents an ideal base for exploring the Tuscany landscape, rolling hills
covered with sunflower fields, olive groves, and vineyards, offering
inspiring scenes for painting.
Ancient houses in the village center provide the accommodation. There is
also a swimming pool. First grade agritourism is offered, with traditional
meals, prepared with locally produced ingredients.
