Opportunities are given to develop personal directions and interests with chosen instructors and external professionals.

- Academic classes engage in the most important historical and contemporary critical debates.
- Studio visits with Italian and international artists place students directly into contact with the issues and practices of art.
- Field trips (to Berlin, London, Paris, etc.) are fundamental occasions to get inside the development and production of exhibitions.
