Have you ever experienced dripping?

Within our language and cultural programmes, you have the opportunity to enjoy and try out this and other painting techniques.

Dripping is a style of painting deriving from the American Action Painting.

Action painting, sometimes called "gestural abstraction", is a style in which paint is spontaneously dribbled, splashed or smeared onto the canvas, rather than being carefully applied. The resulting work often emphasizes the physical act of painting itself as an essential aspect of the finished work or concern of its artist.

One of the most famous expression of this movement can be identified in Jackson Pollock.

The Dripping Atelier is carried out in cooperation with Fondazione Marino Marini, a world wide famous sculptor from Pistoia. 

The final results might not be as good as Pollock, but at least it is good fun !!! 

Some students are professionally (trained) chiefs.

Some others do not know what a pan is and how does it work.

Survival is a must !!!

In our survival kit, once in Italy, you will find a series of cooking lessons.

You will then not only appreciate Italian specialties, but you will also become able to prepare your own favorite Italian recipes.

 By the way, cooking and eating together is another enjoyable way of improving your Italian language skills !!!

These are among our favorites:

Spaghetti alle Vongole
