Italian Guitar Camp

Dear Reader,


News from the Italian Guitar Camp

Greetings from the sunny paradise of Italy, where the Italian Guitar Camp is in full swing! We are thrilled to share the incredible experiences and heartwarming moments we’ve been having here with our guests.

A Community of Passionate People

Our camp is buzzing with the energy of amazing, warm-hearted individuals. From those with basic knowledge to professionals, everyone is united by their love for music and for the instrument. The connections and friendships we've developed here are very meaningful, and for many participants, this camp has become a life-changing experience.

Exciting Activities

Every day is filled with exciting activities that go beyond just playing the guitar. We've had delightful excursions exploring the scenic beauty of Italy, and our cooking sessions have been a highlight, with everyone making their own pasta from scratch. Sharing recipes, tips, and laughter in the kitchen has been a fantastic bonding experience.

Cultural Exchange

This camp is not just about learning music; it also involves experiencing the rich Italian culture. We’ve been exchanging knowledge, stories, and traditions, making this a culturally enriching experience.

Delicious Italian Cuisine

Of course, no Italian experience would be complete without the food. We’ve been indulging in authentic Italian meals, from fresh pasta to delectable desserts. Each meal reflects the essence of Calabrian culinary traditions.

Casa Gemma: A Paradise Above Lamezia Terme

Nestled in the hills above Lamezia Terme, Casa Gemma is a truly paradisiacal place where we had the privilege of being guests of a warm and welcoming family. The genuine hospitality of Federico, Ornella, Armida, Raffaele and Laura made our stay unforgettable.

Through our interactions with the local people, we gained a deep and authentic understanding of the region and its culture. Casa Gemma offered not just breathtaking views, but also a unique opportunity to experience Italy through the eyes of its residents. A heartfelt thank you to the family Nicotera for their incredible kindness and for making us feel at home.

A heartfelt thank you also goes to Claudio Fittante, who takes care of all the organization on site.

Additionally, the project is supported by D'Addario, ensuring that each participant receives a special gift at the end of the week.
