Culture Index exists to catalog cultural institutions online, and highlight the best practices that inspire us.
Launching with a focus on museums and building from there, we are a resource for both research and discovery. Browse information about online communications, and discover ideas with examples of what’s possible for cultural institutions in the digital space.
As a community project facilitated by Base, we invite you to use and contribute to this growing resource.
Villa Romana
Villa Romana, based in Florence, is a place of contemporary artistic production and international cultural exchange. Since 1905, the Villa Romana Fellows, who are awarded annually, have been living and working here. During their stay they network with international guest artists and the regional and Italian art scene. Over the course of decades, Villa Romana has thus become a unique, dynamic, and committed interface for artistic production and discussion between Germany, Italy, and the entire Mediterranean region.
Like hardly any other foreign cultural institute, Villa Romana collaborates with Italian and international partners and practitioners, supporting a transcontinental dialogue between the North and the South. Competencies, cultural differences and personal biographies are networked in cooperation with the regional environment (museums, art academies, universities and partners in other disciplines).
