CIRCOLO SCANDINAVO
Since September the home of Circolo Scandinavo is located on the Aventine, across from the church of Santa Sabina and its orange gardens. Our newly renovated residence hosts private rooms with bathrooms and provides working spaces and common areas for social interaction. A big garden and terrace is available for the artists in residence and offers a beautiful space for guests and events.
The Aventine Hill, one of the seven hills of Rome, offers a calm and green surrounding in the middle of the city. The area is known for its charming location and atmosphere. Beneath the hill you will find the Testaccio neighbourhood with its rich cultural life and broad variety of restaurants. Circus Maximus, Forum Romanum and The Palatine are located on the other side. The location is well connected by local transport such as metro, buses and trams, and easily accessible by direct train from Fiumicino airport.
We are excited for this new chapter and hope you want to join us on the journey!

RETAKE A PLACE REUSE A SPACE
Our great Icelandic group flew in to Rome to participate in Stalkers Spontaneamente, a three day adventure hike, with the aim of discovering new sides of Rome. On the picture the Icelanders and Stalker talk about their participation in the South Icelandic Biennale as part of the project "Retake a place - Reuse a space".
