Calligraphy Workshop
Between the 15áµ—Ę° and 16áµ—Ę° centuries, chancery calligraphy - the first Western cursive script - flourished in Venice, Rome, Florence and beyond. In the heart of Italy, Reschio keeps this refined tradition alive. From 5áµ—Ę° to 8áµ—Ę° December 2025, our Master Calligrapher - raised among ancient library volumes - will guide guests through the art of elegant script using quill and inkwell. Over three days, participants will learn to form letters and numbers by hand, and leave with a phrase beautifully written on fine quality paper.
