Villagers are friendly, helpful and enthusiastic about artists. Everyone is in principle left alone to work, but join together in the piazza whenever there is homemade pizza, fresh olive oil or the new wine. This home has been an inspiration for writers, composers, artists, and scientists alike.

The village has a population of 10 to 15 and enjoys a panoramic hill-top position with spectacular views, on clear days, all the way to Assisi. The area is blessed with kilometers of car free forest paths, and little trafficked roads. Following the ancient Roman road, la vecchia Flaminia, for 20 minutes by car, 45 minutes by bike, one arrives at the Roman archeological splendor of Carsulae. By foot, mountain bike or car, the possibility for short and long nature and cultural excursions is nearly unlimited.

La Torre degli Artisti was formerly owned by a famous Italian actress, and later sold to Composer, Randall Meyers in the late 1990’s. Mr. Meyers, who also has a house in Rapicciano, refurbished this tranquil edifice both for pursuing his composing profession as well as his passion for science and astronomy, turning it into a fully fledged astronomical observatory and writing studio.
