Tenuta Valente

Located in Capaccio Paestum, Tenuta Valente is a charming villa surrounded by the lush countryside of the Cilentan Coast, in the Campania region, Southern Italy. Rich in history, culture, and naturalistic beauty, Cilento has inspired artists through cultures and the millennia, and through the Arts Residency Program the organisers seek to keep the flame of inspiration alive, as they are just a step from the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park and the Archaeological Park of Paestum and Velia, among the most significant and best-preserved ancient Greek sites in the Mediterranean, recognised as World Heritage Site of UNESCO in 1998. Through the Residency Program, artists are invited to stay and work in a peaceful, bucolic environment. Tenuta Valente Arts Villa welcomes professional artists of all disciplines seeking an ideal place to cultivate creativity and immerse themselves in art and nature. During the residency, each artist is provided with a private en-suite bedroom and access to a shared 200-square-metre studio. The purpose is to offer artists a serene and comfortable setting for creativity and artistic dialogue, surrounded by inspiring natural landscapes and a territory rich in history and culture. The residents can dedicate time to their practice, exchange ideas, and find renewed inspiration through meaningful engagement with the local art community.
