TESTIMONIALS

“When I step into Arte con Amore I feel as if time had stopped: my daily concerns remain outside and I can finally devote some time to myself.”

ROSELLA – TEACHER

“Arte con Amore for me is important because it gives me the opportunity to express my passion for art and to share it with other people.”

CLAUDIO, ARTIST

“For me Art With Love is home, as I spend six to seven days a week here, and up to nine-ten hours a day in this studio.”

ALEX, PAINTER

“Arte con Amore is a unique place. Thanks to Alessandra and Steve I started painting again after many years. If I had to pay for a school, I don’t know how I’d have done!”

FRANCO, PENSIONER

“I like to spend time here because I can find different people. Becoming a better painter is my main goal, but there is much more. Since the day I came for the first time, this place has become almost like a shelter.”

GRETA, STUDENT

“I come here to remember the precious value of time…”
