2020

“I discovered something utterly rare for me in Montefollonico. It was peace. And the works I made there were created in stillness. It was nothing less than a luxury to experience this.”

- Jo Hummel about her residency stay at Banditto

“I can’t come up with something I missed at Banditto residency. Good food, fantastic wines, the cutest little village and house, and most of all a painting studio with the most mesmerising view of Montefollonico’s dreamy mountains. It is the ideal place to let go of all the built-up worries and to just let inspiration in, with a fresh Aperol spritz."

- Clara-Lane Lens

“After a bit of an artistic "writer's block", the Banditto residency offered exactly what I needed to get my creative juices flowing again – there's beauty and inspiration around every corner. The scenery, food, wine, and people made my stay an unforgettable experience that I look back to fondly”.

- B.d.Graft during his residency stay at Banditto

“Banditto residency is the perfect place to explore new ideas and absorb new surroundings. It is a fine balance of creativity and play and all set in the beautiful surroundings of Montefollonico.”

- Alec Cumming about his residency stay

“It was by far the most important visit, visually as well as in terms of experiences during 2020. I hope to revisit soon.”
