Materia Prima Art Residency

Materia Prima, an artist residency in a private Estate, surrounded by hectares of vines, in Tuscany. Artdirector Giuditta Elettra Lavinia Nidiaci

The wine estate becomes a space for creativity. Ready to welcome cultural ideas and innovative though in a philosophy of return to nature, to the earth. A hug that combines new and old values. A source of inspiration for artists who want to breathe the charm...

“Keeping one foot on the board gives me the experience... and the business language to ground projects that might otherwise stay up in the air.”

We had the pleasure of hosting at Materia Prima.
As a skateboard filmmaker who built an Italian skate brand from scratch and co-founded the Skate and Surf Film Festival, Davide knows how to bridge the raw energy of the streets with real-world ex*****on.
In this chat, he reflects on working with new generations, the unpredictable nature of skate filming, and why finding a peaceful retreat like Materia Prima is essential for shaping the poetic vision behind the work.

A closer look at the results of ‘s residency. By balancing the labor-intensive process of rug making with the contemplative nature of pinhole photography, Anna has developed a body of work that feels both grounded and expansive. Her ability to synthesize landscape and personal history into form is a remarkable artistic achievement.

“One of the greatest gifts of my time at Materia Prima was the opportunity to be alone: with my thoughts, my work, and a landscape that was entirely new to me.”

Behind the lens and within the studio, Anna Romero explored the intersection of solitude and creation during her residency.
From fiber art to pinhole photography, her time in Tuscany became a space to “think more deeply about my ways of making.”

Swipe to see the artist at work, finding beauty in the quiet corners of our studio.
