Everything I could ever ask!
August 18, 2020by: Stephanie Haufe - GermanyProgram: Art History CoursesI never thought I could have such an incredible experience with a short program (2 months). The shoemaking class was everything I could ever ask for and more. I made some of my best friends and truly never really had a bad day. The teacher was not only a great instructor but also a real Italian gentleman. Without all of the people I have met throughout the semester and everything I learned because of them, would not have been possible without this entire program.
Would do it again in a heartbeat
June 30, 2020by: Jordan Wang - SingaporeProgram: Art History CoursesI attended a 3-month shoemaking short course taught my a great teacher but also a great person Mr. Angelo. Everybody knows him here in Italy, as he's considered one of the best artisanal shoemakers. I really hope I can join another short program this winter...
Best experience ever thanks to a great teacher
January 21, 2020by: Patty Hunt - United StatesProgram: Art History CoursesI am a person that had always wanted to travel and study abroad, but I am also the person that was so homesick I couldn't eat for 3 days after going to college. So making the final decision to go to Italy was scary for me but one of the best ones I had ever made. I completely fell in love with everything about Accademia Riaci and the shoemaking program, and of course I fell in love with Florence. The assistants and the teacher, Mr. Angelo, were so helpful and very patient to teach me all the steps to create my first pair of handmade shoes. Looking forward to coming back next summer!!!
