Five days of creative writing in the Sala degli specchi of Villa Ciani, a historic villa in the park at the edge of Lake Lugano. Patrizia Barbuiani and Markus Zohner lead an intensive daytime course, Monday to Friday, built around the interplay of memory and imagination: the real raw material for anyone who wants to write, and the two forces a good text has to hold in tension. Open to anyone with a project already underway, or to anyone who simply arrives with a notebook and a question.
