Education & Enrichment Programs
The Spannocchia Foundation sponsors a wide variety of cultural and environmental education programs at the Castello di Spannocchia. Using the Castello as a base for housing and meals, student and adult program groups conduct intensive artistic or instructional workshops in the Castello’s studio space, explore the rich history and culture of the region through day trips to nearby Siena and Florence, or use the land and its organic products to learn about Tuscan cooking and organic farming.
