Rafael Codony –
This course has been a great opportunity for me to get to know Florence and all its art in depth. And personally this drawing course has given me a great improvement in my technical knowledge and a great stimulus to work on it in the future. I also appreciated very much the work of my teacher who gave me a great freedom to develop my own style and a good diversity of techniques. Humanly speaking, the treatment has been excellent.
Agatha Hopkins –
Drawing has always been my passion and when my parents gave me this course as a graduation present, I could not wait for the day in which I would travel to Italy. Once there, all I can say is that I did not want it to end. Florence is a dream, the course was amazing, I met many lovely people both at the school and in the flat that I shared with other students. Thank you Federica and all the team at Studiainitalia for your support and attention. Come visit me in Melbourne. Arrivederci!
