Art courses
for formed groups
Being
always an integral part of the Italian language and culture courses,
these courses are organized in collaboration with various Fine Arts
academies, universities, art schools, etc. They differ from the previous
courses both in their timetable (see the weekly timetable here below)
and in their content which is established with each group leader. The
teaching may be carried out either by the Italian masters or by the
group leaders themselves.

These courses are
given a very professional touch and therefore meetings with Italian
artists, guided tours to their studios as well as to exhibitions, art
galleries, cities renowned for their art (with
optional excursions to Urbino, Florence, Siena, Ravenna, Assisi, etc.),
museums, etc. are foreseen within the programme.
The total cost
of the course (which includes 48 hours of art lessons) is to be
established with the management of the Centre of Italian Studies,
according to the programme required.
