TPW XMAS NEWSLETTER
Dear friends,
it’s again that time of the year…
2021 went very fast, between lockdowns, short holidays, hopes and fears…but here we are again, thinking about what the past year has left us with, and making new plans for the future.
We already have a schedule for the first half of 2022, and working on the second part.
Please have a look at the dates, and stay in touch and follow us on our social channels : we fill you up soon with new projects.
We will start the year with a workshop in Venice, run by Giacomo Brunelli.
Giacomo has been working on a book on Venice for the last two years; he will be the ideal leader for this class. In addition, Venice in the suspended time between the end of Carnival and Easter is at its best, with the winter fog, no tourist, the city all for ourselves.
Dates will be March 5-11 2022
Giacomo Brunelli
Venice – A Winter Tale
Venice, March 5-11, 2022
We then plan to spend the spring in Sicily, with new workshops.
Stefano Butturini will be the first to open the program, with a workshop on Sicilian life-style on the Aeolian Islands, north of Sicily.

Then we will move to Palermo with Lorenzo Castore, to explore night and day life of the capital of Sicily.

The weeks between end of July and August are reserved to Villa Lina, our buen retiro in northern Lazio (one hour north of Rome). There, as usual, we will find the magic atmosphere of this beautiful isolated estate, while all the rest of Italy is packed with vacationers. For now we have schedued two workshop, but two more will be added soon.

September will be dedicated to Tuscany, where we plan to spend a couple of weeks. Temperatures will be lower, less tourist, wine harvesting time…a great moment to enjoy this part of Italy, where we started TPW many years ago.
Also in this case, the list of workshops will be announced soon.
And in September there will also be another workshop with Anders Petersen, one of our most popular classes!
The venue will be Bologna.
We have decided to reduce the number of spots available, so hurry up!

There will be some other projects along the way, we are still working on it.
We will try to fit them all in! For sure, we will run a workshop in Paris with Elena Perlino

TPW ANNIVERSARY BOOK – 28 YEARS
As you know by now, our TPW ANNIVERSARY BOOK was published in mid-April. Thank you to all of you who have already pre-ordered and purchased the book.
It shows us how much you care about TPW, it is a good way to bring back memories (for those who have been there in the past) and to get to know what TPW is, for those who only heard about it.
Thank you for your kind and enthusiastic comments, and for the support.
The world of photography as seen from a small isolated group who meets every year on the Tuscan hills, and then around the world.
And, of course, many backstage photographs! Landscapes, students at work, portraits, friends…it’s not easy to photograph an atmosphere, but I must say that, through this collection of images, you quickly immerse yourself in TPW’s unique spirit…It makes you wanting to go, or go back!
I’m very happy with the results! After so many years, it’s a pleasure to finally hold it in my hands!
More details about the book click here
The book has an ISBN code, but you will not find it in bookstores or Amazon: you should order it on our website.
The cost is €45 –for ex-students it’s only € 38 (plus shipping expenses). There is also a deluxe numbered version and special discounts if you order more than one copy.
All this is on the link above.
Enough to tempt you to order your copy???
And also consider that, by purchasing the book, you will support TPW: as you know, last year we had to cancel all our workshops, and your support in this sense will be highly appreciated!
You will find the info here
