The "Giacomo Vittone" artists' house in Tenno
The Casa degli Artisti "Giacomo Vittone" located in Tenno, in the province of Trento, is a place of high cultural interest. It has its roots in the 60s following the intuition of Giacomo Vittone, an amateur painter fascinated by the beauty of the landscape that can be seen coming from Riva del Garda towards the Borgo of Canale.
Thanks to him, and to his native friends, the House was later established as a legal entity consisting of three municipalities: Riva del Garda, Tenno and Arco.
The activities it carries out are divided into exhibitions, summer courses, conferences, hospitality for artists, school stays with academies and art institutes.
Internal organization of the House of Artists
The Casa degli Artisti is defined in this way with regard to the various characteristics of its architectural spaces. Large and bright halls that host temporary exhibitions, a frescoed kitchen serving as a meeting place and conviviality, and six welcoming rooms for the artists' stay.
The garden, looks like a terrace, offering a splendid view of Lake Garda itself, is the place where concerts, shows and various meetings are also hosted.
The present laboratories
The Casa degli Artisti is a place with an educational purpose and meeting place for those who wish to approach the world of art in all its ramifications.
During the summer courses in ceramics, watercolor, drawing, graphics, sculpture and engraving are organized and hosted.
The precious collaborations with professors from various cultural institutions such as the National Culture Department of Rome, the International Center of Graphics in Venice, the Manzoni Foundation in Milan, the Historical Archive of Venice are of great expectation and prestige.
To these is added the long list of Art Academies and Institutes that have stayed at the House or that have entered into collaborations with it, starting from the Brera Academy in Milan, from that of Fine Arts in Urbino, Cignaroli Academy in Verona, Carrara Academy of Bergamo, Universitè Laval del Quebèc (Canada), Salzburg, Innsbruk, Basel, Zurich.
