The Scuola Internazionale DI Grafica brings together an international community of artists, teachers and students in an exchange of technical and critical ideas in the fine and graphic arts. The Scuola offers courses in printmaking, book arts, drawing, painting and graphic design and is dedicated to educating young artists and designers in both established and experimental media. The Scuola provides a fully equipped print workshop, two painting and drawing studios and a computer room.
