Most artists and scholars use their time at the Liguria Study Center to pursue projects for which the basic preparation or research has already been done, bringing with them the materials needed to complete their work. When necessary, however, Bogliasco Fellows have access — in some cases special access — to the major libraries, museums, and other cultural resources in Genoa.
The Bogliasco Foundation does not award grants for travel in Italy. It is assumed, therefore, that Fellows will remain at the Study Center for the duration of their residencies. The Foundation recognizes, however, that some artists and scholars may require access to cultural resources in other parts of Italy. For example, sculptors sometimes wish to meet with the artisans at the famous foundries in Pietrasanta. Provided that such requirements are clearly stated in the project description, short trips for research or other consultation may be approved. For such travel, Fellows usually take advantage of the rapid train service that connects Genoa, in one and one-half to five hours, to such important cities as Turin, Milan, Pisa, Florence, Venice, and Rome.
