The Civitella Ranieri Fellowship supports artists and writers for 5-week residencies at a 15th-century Umbrian castle in Italy. All costs covered including international travel. Highly competitive: approximately 15 fellows selected from 1,000+ applicants.
I don't exaggerate when I say Civitella Ranieri changed my life. The castle is extraordinary — thick stone walls, frescoed ceilings, a garden with views across Umbria — but what sets it apart is the caliber of the other fellows. In my session we had a Pulitzer finalist, a Turner Prize shortlisted sculptor, and a MacArthur-winning composer. The conversations over meals were unlike anything I'd had anywhere else. Everything is paid for, including your flights. Apply every year until you get in.
Covers all costs including international travel, exceptional fellow cohort, unforgettable location
Extremely competitive. The location is rural — you'll need a car to leave the castle grounds.
