Spotlight: italy
Italy is a land where sun-drenched coastlines, rolling vineyards, and ancient ruins create a timeless landscape rich in beauty and history. Italy pulses with a uniquely passionate rhythm—where art, food, and family are not just parts of life, but its essence. From the canals of Venice to the ruins of Rome and the hills of Tuscany, every corner tells a story of empires, artists, and revolutions. Its cultural heritage—home to the Renaissance, opera, and masterpieces by Michelangelo and Da Vinci—continues to shape the world.
Our spotlight on Italy allows you to find a series of artworks and limited edition silkscreen prints inspired by the country. Italy has been the destination of a variety trips with The Jaunt, and below you can find a selection of prints inspired by the beautiful country.

Destination: Cantina Martinelli, Italy
A stones throw away from the city of Verona, you will find Cantina Martinelli. Here, in the classic area of Soave, you will find the old vineyards on the volcanic soil of Fitta. The home of the grapes which are grown to produce the natural wines that Cantina Martinelli has become known for. The grapes are harvested by hand and vinified with spontaneous fermentations. Always with the intention to make a low intervention natural wine that expresses the most of its grape and its terroir.
For his stay we have connected Tellas with Francesco Martinelli. Francesco, with his artistic background coming out of photography, design and music is now the winemaker of Cantina Martinelli and Tellas his guide through the vineyards and canteens of the area. During the week Tellas will be getting familiar with and be a part of every step of the process of artisanal and traditional natural wine making.
