ABOUT ACCADEMIA ITALIANA

The Accademia Italiana (Fashion, Design and Art School) was established in Florence in 1984. For almost 30 years it has been one of the leading fashion, design and art schools in Italy and Europe for artistic training at a post-secondary level.

Here are some professional opinions:

“It is evident that the Accademia Italiana is an excellent school with great professors. The students are given creative liberty while the school furnished them with solid technical basis. I have seen this in the student works.”
