Farindola, long known by nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful retreat, as well as more active types, has become a destination for visual artists as a result of the instigation of the FARINDOLA INTERNATIONAL ARTS FESTIVAL (FIAF) residency in 2015. In this time 48 artists of 19 different nationalities have visited from Europe, Asia and North America producing a wide variety of artworks.

In addition to the visual artists that take part in FIAF, groups and individual artists come to Farindola drawn by the stunning landscape of the National Park of Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga. Farindola is always also pleased to receive other creatives such as writers and musicians.
