Our painting restoration course is held in a real workshop “bottega” in Florence.
Do you know why we do not offer this course in a restoration school? Because the bottega is the most advisable place for a quick, practical and immersive learning, even if you are a beginner!
The workshop is located in the historic centre of Florence.
Courses are open to all levels and they are one to one.

I really enjoyed those days in Florence when I went to work with Mrs. Elena Giannetti. Inspiring moments and hours in her studio.

For me, the experience that this great course left me with was incredibly good and excellent, even if I couldn’t express it in just 2 words! I entered as a beginner to the Restoration course (because I knew nothing, nothing), and I came out with a great amount of learning, both practical and theoretical. The course is super complete. I had planned to take only the first few hours, but there was so much to learn from Elena Giannetti’s classes that I decided to expand my lessons to much more, and I would have expanded them again if I had more time: a magnificent teacher, her way of teaching, her patience, her dedication, her talent and above all the great person that she is made this course the most pleasant part of my stay in Florence! As well as the great attention of all the staff of Studiainitalia, who at all times were attentive to help me even at a very long distance, and also got me the best accommodation with a very nice woman – Ana Maria! Not forgetting that I also had an incredible translator for the 1st class – Raquel! Thank you Elena Giannetti, Federica, Lara, Pina, Ana Maria and Raquel … for this and more ….

Good morning, a week ago I took part in a painting restoration course in Florence, in Elena Giannetti’s workshop. The experience was great, as we combined theory and practice. Although the two-week course is a bit short to study the different techniques, it was enough to get to know the basic restoration procedures. I would have liked it to be more practical, and not so theoretical, but in any case the experience was unforgettable, thank you very much.

Hello Federica: I have just arrived in Argentina again, I have to tell you that everything was magnificent, from the accommodation to Laura, an excellent hostess, at the beginning I didn’t understand how a big man could go to the school as she told him but in reality I did a luxury laboratory with Elena, whom I must also congratulate for her professionalism and warmth. I must also mention Pina who welcomed me with her best smile. As you can see, I came back delighted and, I hope, better learned.
