    Foi uma experiência muito boa para mim estudar na cidade de Florença. Meu curso de treinamento foi concluído na última sexta-feira (19 de maio). Foi muito bom ter um treinamento profissional na oficina de Dimitri para mim. Sou muito grato por ter tido essa oportunidade de trabalhar com ele, não apenas pelo seu entusiasmo em sua área e por ensinar, mas também pela inspiração que ele mesmo e a oficina de trabalho proporcionam. Mais uma vez, estou muito agradecido por sua consideração com os alunos. Obrigado,Jack

Une fois de plus, je lui suis très reconnaissant de la considération qu’il porte aux étudiants.
