The workshop will be held in Trani, a beautiful art city, in Palazzo delle Arti Beltrani (location on Google map).
Palazzo Beltrani is situated close to the city's Cathedral and the Castello Svevo (Swabian Castle). In the past, it served as the residence for important noble families.
The Palace, built in the Renaissance style, boasts a beautiful façade adorned with friezes above the windows and intricate stone decorations. While little historical documentation about the Palace is available, it is known that it belonged to the Passapepe family of Verona before they sold it to the Beltrani family in 1654. Of this family we mention in particular Giuseppe Beltrani, mayor of Trani in 1848 and 1860, a patron of the arts. He promoted the restoration of the municipal theatre (unfortunately demolished in 1958), and hosted artists and men of culture in his Palazzo. Inside the entrance hall, you can see the family's coat of arms, which shows a sun over an upside-down V-shaped arch. There is also a stele with a Latin inscription from the 2nd century AD. After extensive restoration, Palazzo Beltrani now serves as a city cultural complex. It houses collections related to the history of Trani and its famous residents, as well as a permanent art gallery dedicated to the painter Ivo Scaringi (1937–1998).
The main conference hall is Salone "G. Beltrani", on the ground floor of Palazzo Beltrani.
