About Accademia Riaci

Upon founding the studio in 1983, Maestro Raymond Riaci had a strong vision for creating a school that not only could perpetuate his techniques to new generations, but could also enlighten young artists with the lively spirit and atmosphere of the Renaissance, in order to fulfill his life-long mission as a Maestro.
This was how Accademia Riaci was founded: a treasure box of traditional arts and its irreplaceable techniques.

Starting as a small art studio, today the same passionate mission has lit up not only a single maestro, but a spectacular team of teachers representing the best Italian artists in Florence, retaining the founder and Honorary President's traditional vision and spirit.
Our students represent over 15 countries world wide, pursuing their projects in the fields of Design, Crafts, Fine Arts, Language, Art History, Jewelry and most recently Italian Culinary Arts.

Accademia Riaci strives to nurture and develop the imagination and fantasy in every single student!
