Intensive Specialized Courses
 
 
Florence has the greatest number of artworks and restorers in the world. It has long been known as a Capital of Culture and a City of Art and Restoration and it is home to the largest percentage of organisations, companies, publishing houses, schools and restorers in Italy and in the world.

Scholars and technicians from all over the world come to Florence in search of an “added value” in the field of restoration and of a chance to share their experiences, plan future exchanges and come into contact with companies and people working in the sector in order to improve their skills and their knowledge in this field.

The Institute offers to these professional people its thirty year experience and its best professional resources in order to allow them to reach their specialised goals. The Institute will activate in this sense, a series of specialised, intensive courses in the field of conservation, restoration and evaluation of cultural heritage. In each of these courses it will be accurately mixed new and traditional materials, old and innovative and experimental techniques.

All the courses have a duration of one-four weeks and they will be structured in a format of 20-120 hours. All the specialised sessions will be delivered by the most important and expert lecturers coming from the Institute and from its partners (diagnostic and research centres, university departments etc.).

In order to facilitate a better relationship lecturer/student, the Institute accepts only 10 participants a course.

It is no required any study title to be admitted at these courses but anyway, the Institute reserves the right to examine applicant's study titles or professionalexperiences, before confirming the admission at the selected course.

The courses are scheduled when the laboratories are free from the academic year sessions or when the academic year students are involved in their practical internship sessions: normally during the summer (July and September), but sometimes also in the months reserved to internships and exams (April, May and June).

Amongst the various techniques introductory courses you can find also the 3 months format structured in 1- 3 afternoons a week and scheduled in the months of February, April and in October December. All the topics are treated in these courses in order to meet student's different needs taking into consideration their various previous experiences gained in other training activities.

Admission of foreign students
All the Institute courses are delivered in Italian.
All the sessions has a practical approach and for this reason, students are required to have a basic knowledge of Italian language that could help them in their integration in the city and in the school.
Admission at the summer and short courses, which have a mainly practical approach, requires a minimum knowledge of Italian as in the use of language in real daily life situations. This skill can be reached at the first language level: Beginners (Basic grammatical elements. Italian Core Vocabulary. Basic phonetic ability. Exercises of oral and written comprehension. Conversation).
Students can follow a preliminary Italian language level Beginners course at IIC of their country of origin, at the Istituto Michelangelo, one of the specialised schools of Florence, also one month before the beginning of the selected summer or short course.
Each student can improve his knowledge of Italian language through the free distance learning study of some topics, offered through our Institute FAD platform, that includes the Glossary of Art and Restoration Technique, by using a password that the Institute Secretariat will send him at the time of registration.
There will not be any exam or checking test of applicants knowledge of Italian language before the beginning of the summer or short courses.
