Casa Wallace

An ongoing collaboration exists between the University of Idaho Landscape Architecture Program and CasaWallace as they host large student groups with their professors for six weeks each summer. In addition to design studies, students partake in weekly classes in language, cooking & culture, for which they receive college credit. CasaWallace makes it possible for these students to stay at one location enabling them to share together in their new cultural experience. They invite groups interested in holding workshops, seminars and residencies at CasaWallace.

The Peidmonte region offers a host of activities such as castle tours, famous carnivals, horseback riding, Il Palio (famous Horse races in Asti), and specialty markets in antiques and local foods. Piemonte is most known for its fine wine and cuisine tradition.  Visit local cantinas and restaurants and take in an array of regional tastes.  At different times throughout the summer and fall, each town will share its food and costoms by hosting its own festival known as Sagra. A rich history exists in peidmonte as well.  One can visit local museums, or the many Castles & midieval boroughs, Roman churches and sanctuaries that are spread throughout these hills.
For those seeking outdoor sport and activity, cycling in the surrounding countryside has become very popular, and area forests and rivers near Casa Wallace have places for hiking, trekking and swimming.
