    Description

    I'm a young poet called Mario. My favorite activity is creating, painting and sculpturing. My vision is to turn my house and the surrounding area in a Studio for artists and travellers. I think it will be amazing to be able to walk through the trails high in the forest, from painting to sculpture, to the little town of Fano Adriano.

    That is situated in Abruzzo region, close to magnificent Gran Sasso mountain, rivers and natural pools. The house is located 100 mt from the woods and 500 mt from the historical center of Fano Adriano of about 250 people, on 750 msl. We have few local shops and a couple of cafes, one bus going to Teramo, the "capital" of the province.

    We have wonderful nature around us and I personally love all the different shifts of season... when autumn comes colours are picturesque! There are opportunities for bicycling and walking, both on the road and in the mountain. The whole house is filled with art from top to bottom with paintings and sculptures made by me and my friends... to say the truth I'm tring to create some space on the walls for newcomers artists haha :)

    I'd love to host someone who is connected with mother nature, who practice yoga and meditation. Hopefully someone openminded, good humored, responsable, indipendent, calm and organized, who like to spend time alone but also to share activities with me or some artist passing by.
    I'm creative but may be not super organized (yes you can help me about that) due to different artistic ideas and projects I have all the time.
