About Program

How amazing is the work of the restorer? How interesting is the fact that in his hands he has the power to give to a work of art its original beauty? The aim of this course is to give to the students a real first method to this world, in particular on canvas manifacts. Students will be accompanied by the teacher to: recognize the technique in which it has been realized; recognize the conditions of degradation, and to use the most useful methods to practice on them to give back their original beauty. The course will be completed by some theoretical lessons, practical exercises on specific artifacts, visit to the most important city museums, reflections and comparisons done observing important restored work of arts.

Questions & Answers

Staff Interviews

These are in-depth Q&A sessions with program leaders.

What is your favorite travel memory?

With my works, I have the possibility to frequently travel with different purposes. In my best memories, there are two different trips: the first one was when I was for the first time in Brussels visiting the EU Parliament. The second one was my first time in the USA, in Philadelphia, for the NAFSA educational fair.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

I've completely changed the way to look to the world: working in the artistic field gives me the possibility to every day discover new fantastic things. I have discovered a new part of me that is considerably connected with people and especially with the students. I also have become more patient (even if the road is still long!).

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

A student coming back from an Erasmus experience told me once that the best thing that happened to him was to completely change his way to see the things. When he arrived in the destination place, he was excited about the experience, but at the same time afraid of it. At the end, he told me that he had the possibility to look at himself and to discover a new person, completely different. But it is said that an abroad experience can change life!

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

The summer courses are at the moment the best way to enter in contact with SantaGiulia Arts Academy and the things that makes it unique: the tradition, the learning by doing method and the beauty of Brescia and surrondings.

Staying in Italy, in Brescia, for a brief period (from 2 weeks till a month) gives the students a more clear way of what it should be to move for a long period. This is why I'd really do it.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

My company is unique in the way to consider its students in a very personal way: each student here has the possibility to live his experience surrounded by people that believe in him/her.

Personally, I'm in general really proud of my team: when we work straight to achieve a target and we reach it, we are ready to share the joy considering the plus of each person that has contributed to it.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

Being able to intercept the ever-changing world to offer to the student an always up-to-date education.

This means that we always are ready to call into question what we do if we realize that it isn't working.
Being a successful company means also to be prepared to welcome the changes and to do it in a very sustainable way.
