In July, four selected "DaVinci Storytellers" will spend one week in Vinci and will have unparalleled access to rich history from multiple generations of wine grape growers, dynamic culinary experiences with local chefs and insider access to the area's robust art culture. Each DaVinci Storyteller, in turn, will express their experience in Tuscany using their creative talents. The resulting stories, art or other creations will be shared by the DaVinci Storytellers through their social media networks as well as the DaVinci website and Facebook page, and the media. Four DaVinci Storytellers will be chosen, one from each of the following categories: Language Arts such as an author, blogger, journalist or poet; Culinary Arts such as a chef, recipe developer, or food stylist; Visual Arts such as photographer or painter; and Documentary such as a videographer or filmmaker. "We're looking for people with a real gift for telling stories through a variety of creative expressions, whether they're just learning their craft, working as a professional or pursuing it as a hobby," said Courtney Klipping, Senior Marketing Manager at E&J Gallo Winery. "They'll spend a week soaking up creative inspiration in Vinci with the goal of creating short stories, essays, paintings, photographs, recipes, videos - you name it - to share with the world and to bring to life the story of DaVinci."
