APUGLIAN TALES OF REALITY RESIDENCY
SEPTEMBER 26-30.2024
this exquisitely curated experience is a collaboration between ROM STUDIO, Shani Rom and Flavia Quitadamo — we would like to welcome you with the opportunity to embrace the Japanese tradition of M.A. where the greatest meaning resides.
M.A. - the void of time and space where one finds the room to breathe, feel, and connect to reach greater heights. we invite you to take a PAUSE to purely exist in the here and now, through range of motion, gatherings, creations, and unique exploration of the land and sea.
an ode to space, in time where richness derives within the enchanted Itria Valley where scents of centuries-old olive trees and greenery of the Mediterranean scrub collide. where one’s find equanimity in natures offerings and cultural richness that nourishes the body, mind and soul.
THE MASSERIA
THE MASSERIA
our private masseria was built in the 12th century, Masseria G. is nestled on 12 hectares of land, surrounded by olive trees, prickly pear bushes, apricot and cherry trees.
we will practice our daily movement flows in our outdoor shala. the masseria has 8 rooms, all with en-suite bathroom and its own private access through gorgeous and spacious courtyard. a stunning picturesque garden and large pool, for lounging and soaking up rays of sun.
CEGLIE MESSAPICA
located halfway between the Adriatic and the Ionian coast - 15 minutes from Ostuni and 25 minutes from the sea. an ancient town founded by the people of the Messapi on the slopes of a fertile hill. it is known for it’s ancient history that dates back to 2,000 years, rich culture, and reputation for culinary excellence. today the village represents the values and customs of rural life of the past and the present.
HOW TO ARRIVE
there are two airports in Pulgia: Brindisi and Bari. Brindisi is the closest one to Ceglie Messapica, a 45min drive or 1.5 drive from Bari. the easiest and most convenient option is to rent a car. if renting a car is something you are uncomfortable with, we can assist with transportation from the airport to the masseria.
