Every spring, we get in our cars. We follow the hills and river roads, chasing a feeling more than a destination.

Studios open. Artists speak. A few brave works wait quietly, hoping to be chosen.

This year, for the first time, Villa Bellezza joins the tradition. Our artist in residence, Federico, has been painting the light, the stone, the soul of this place.

You might find him sketching under a portico, or sipping wine by the piazza fountain. And yes—like a handful of artists in the world—you might even find him at dinner in Il Forno.

Because some art isn’t just hung on a wall.

Some art is lived.
