Oppdagelsenes tid er slett ikke forbi. Det fant vi ut da vi dro på oppdagerferd i Italia, og til Molise – et ukjent hjørne av landet få har tatt seg bryet med å besøke.

This year’s olive harvest has come to an end. Also this year we had the fortune of working with many amazing friends who came to help. A big thank you to Maurizio from Fattoria Sociale Il Giardino dei Ciliegie for being the man with a plan.

Tonight a festival that might be the most charming of them all, takes place in Montemitro.
In the historic centre of the town, where the narrow streets will be buzzing with folk music and dance, you can try food from several countries like Croatia, Germany, USA, Norway and Romania.

In Molise you will find a large number of festivals throughout the year. The village Civitacampomarano is hosting the 8th annual street art festival CVTà Street fest from 2nd to the 4th of June.

The festival comprises three days of mural painting, street art tours, live music and workshops, once again under the artistic direction of the celebrated Roman street artist Alice Pasquini.

The idea behind the annual street art festival is to breathe new life into the largely abandoned village whose 300 mainly elderly residents embrace the thousands of visitors that arrive each June.

This year's street artists - Elléna Lourens from South Africa, Helen Bur from the UK, Hera from Germany and Dan Witz from the US - will create permanent art works over the course of the three-day festival.

Civitacampomarano is a 40 minute´s drive from Masseria Chicerro.

L’arte di Dan Witz si basa sugli incontri imprevisti. Posizionando opere piccole ma di grande
impatto in angoli dimenticati delle nostre città, l’artista sorprende i passanti e attira la loro
attenzione su luoghi altrimenti ignorati. Il suo lavoro ci ricorda che un muro non è una tela,
ma è parte di un contesto che inevitabilmente modella l'arte che vi viene creata.

Dan Witz inizia a dipingere nelle strade di New York alla fine degli anni '70, contrapponendo
le sue piccole e delicate opere ai graffiti, che iniziavano a dominare lo scenario urbano
proprio in quegli anni. Da allora, la sua pratica artistica site-specific esplora l’interazione tra
l'opera, il contesto e il passante.

suoi progetti più famosi.

🇺🇸 Dan Witz's street art practice is a testament to the power of unexpected encounters. By
placing tiny yet impactful works in forgotten corners of our cities, Witz creates moments of
surprise that draw attention to overlooked places. His work is a reminder that a wall isn't a
canvas; it's a part of an uncontrolled environment that inevitably shapes the art created
within it.

Witz's career began in New York City in the late 1970s, when his elaborate street works
stood out against the bold, quickly-executed graffiti lettering that was proliferating around
him. Since then, his site-specific practice has become a deeply considered exploration of the
interplay between artwork, environment, and passerby.

INTRODUCTION OFFER!

Spring has arrived in Molise and 2023 will be the first full season for Masseria Chicerro. Our bungalows are mainly intended for guests who want to spend a longer period in this rural environment, but as an introduction to Masseria Chicerro, we´re inviting guests to book stays as short as 1 week during 2023.

The rates for short stays in June, July, August, and September are €50 per night.

We still have availability in May at a daily rate of €35!

You can contact us at [email protected] for bookings or requests for our monthly rates.

The bungalows are small but practical, with a bedroom, bathroom and a combined kitchen and living area with a private terrace. Each bungalow has a small washing machine, air conditioning and free Wifi. All windows and doors are equipped with mosquito nets. The units are designed to accommodate one person, but are also suitable for couples.

Masseria Chicerrro is located a 30 minutes’ walk from the village Montemitro, so we recommend renting a car to get around. However, several guests stayed without cars--it just requires a bit more planning to get around.

Molise is probably the most unknown and unexplored region in Italy and is the second smallest region with only two provinces; Campobasso and Isernia. The region is pristine; there is still no mass tourism here, and the small villages scattered around on the hilltops have a way of life that´s pretty much unchanged for the last 50 years, and many claims that coming to Molise is a bit like traveling back in time. You find an authenticity here that you no longer find in the more tourist-crowded parts of Italy, and the pace and rhythm of life is slow and stress free.
You can reach the Adriatic coast with blue Flag certified beaches in 20 minutes by car, and the bigger coastal towns like Vasto and Termoli, are only 40 minutes away.

The closest airports you will find in Pescara (1h 15min), Naples (2h), and Bari (2h 20 min).
Fiumicino airport in Roma is 3 hours away by car or 4 to 5 hours if you take the bus directly from the airport.

Don´t be a stranger, send us an e-mail at [email protected] and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have about staying at Masseria Chicerro.
