Bogliasco Foundation

The Bogliasco Foundation offers monthlong residencies from January to May and from September to December to poets, fiction writers, creative nonfiction writers, and translators in the coastal fishing village of Bogliasco, Italy, seven miles southeast of Genoa. Residents are provided with a private room, work space, and meals, and are invited to attend cultural events in Bogliasco and Genoa. There is no cost to attend the residency, but residents are responsible for their own travel expenses. To apply for spring 2027 residencies, submit up to 15 pages of poetry or 25 pages of prose, a curriculum vitae of no more than three pages, a project proposal, and two letters of recommendation with a $30 application fee by March 6 (or $45 by March 13). Following these guidelines, translators may submit English translations of their writing samples. Visit the website for complete guidelines. 

Accessibility accommodations include public transportation near the venue, accessible common spaces, an accessible room with a private bathroom, and limited accessible parking. Contact the foundation via e-mail for requests and additional accessibility details.
