The academies of Fine Arts offer different courses such as painting, sculpture, scenography, museology, restoration, and decoration, giving the opportunity to immerse yourself in a magical artistic atmosphere. It is no coincidence that most of the academies of Fine Arts were founded in the Enlightenment Age with the aim of making the teaching of Fine Arts available to everyone so that it was not a privilege of a few artists.
