Creative Writing Workshop

martin03_1_thWe remind to them as the last “Dead Poets Society”… an enthusiastic group of 6 students writing poems and amazing stories having been inspired by the warm Italian scenery during thier summer stay.

The group lived together in the house of the Pieve International School in the center of the medieval town of Corciano, just ten minutes walk down-hill from the Villa, under the guide of Martin and his beautiful wife. Thanks to the holiday atmosphere provided by the amazingly sunny Italian days, even the study time was spent in an easy atmosphere. Rossella helped the program participants by transporting them around Umbria to uncover the last hidden traces of the great Italain poems. And of course, a night at “Umbria Jazz” in Perugia!

A little secret: each one of them slept the enitre time here with the Dante’s “Divine Comedy” on thier bedside tables.

Program Director: Martin Nakell
