WORKPLACE:

​

The workshop will be held in the historic complex of Santa Sofía, located in Salerno, in piazza Abate Conforti.  Built in the late tenth century, originally it housed the Benedictine Order dedicated to Santa Sofia, from which it takes its name.

 

After the restructuring it is used as a venue for hosting events, exhibitions and events. It has hosted exhibitions of painters and personalities of international renown, such as Picasso, Miro, Caravaggio, Warhol and Pierluigi Nervi. Each year there are also events, projects and exhibitions related to the various organizations and public festivals.

DISCOVER SALERNO:
 

Salerno represents the combination between a fascinating history and a huge sphere af artistic, urbanistic and architectural beauties. Its provenances are very old and, above all, extremely high-toned.

 

Originally an Etruscan and later a Roman colony, Salerno flourished with the arrival of the Normans in the 11th century. Robert Guiscard made it the capital of his dukedom in 1076 and, under his patronage, the Scuola Medica Salernitana was renowned as one of medieval Europe’s greatest medical institutes. Much later, the city was tragically left in tatters by the heavy fighting that followed the 1943 landings of the American Fifth Army. Part of the historic centre was miraculously spared, but the somewhat featureless wide boulevards elsewhere are a result of postwar reconstruction.

The students should look for their accommodation. There are several hotels, hostels, Airbnb. Please, bear in mind that accommodation should be booked in advance because Salerno is a very touristic city in summer.
