Accademia delle Belle Arti di Bologna

Campus

The Academy of Fine Arts of Bologna founded in 1710 is  one of the oldest in Italy. The Academy is a place of study, production and conservation of art, dedicated to the training of artists, designers and professionals in this field. Initially the academy had four teaching classes, one for painters, one for sculptors, one for architects and one for art scholars. In recent years  the Academy expanded its training offer with disciplines close to the contemporary, respecting always its own tradition and maintaining the specificity of a technical and theoretical knowledge. Many were the great masters who have contributed to making it an institution of higher artistic education today: such as the well known painter Giorgio Morandi, one of the masters of Italian painting  and printmaking of the twentieth century .
