Nocefresca short-stay programme
We like to call it Nocefreschissima! Hard to translate, easier to unfold it in a few sentences. Our short-stay programme will bring you to Milis (Sardinia island, Italy), to spend a two-week period alongside our monthly artists in residence. A desktop in the communal areas of Casa Bagnolo will be your working environment, a bedroom in a shared flat your accommodation. Do you enjoy self-directing your work within a rural, community-based setting?

Why Sardinia?
Living in a rural village of Sardinia, close to local communities and far from tourists and chaotic cities, treats you with moments of authentic simplicity to connect with the most elementary life values.As a resident artist, you will gain daily doses of inspiration discovering a landscape of wide-open spaces, scents and sounds of nature. The territory offers clues and evidence that tell the story of a remote past and prehistoric societies. You will find secular trees, rare botanical species, rocks and caves marked by the most ancient geological eras and shaped by the wind and the sea. Enigmatic archaeological findings and megalithic architecture are disseminated throughout the island and constitute a priceless cultural heritage. Sardinia also hosts one of the five Blue Zones in the world where people live significantly longer than average, thanks to their wellbeing lifestyle.
