2  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.

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.
