The Rome Sustainable Food Project is at once a production and teaching kitchen whose daily success relies strongly upon a team of interns. Living and training in Rome for a period of five-and-a-half months, they learn alongside an American and Italian kitchen staff to cook for the Academy community.
For over a century, the Rome Prize has supported innovative and cross-disciplinary work in the arts and humanities. Each year, the prize is awarded to about thirty artists and scholars who represent the highest standard of excellence and who are in the early or middle stages of their careers.
