Courses in Florence

Churches of extraordinary beauty, museums and art collections, historic gardens, piazzas, medieval streets and ancient palaces: Florence can best be defined as a ‘diffuse museum.’ It is not a container for works of art, but a work of art in itself. It was once home to one of the most celebrated creators of precious embossed works, Benvenuto Cellini.

In the midst of inspiring landscapes and a fascinating historical and cultural context, Florence represents the perfect location to immerse yourself in the ancient art of chasing and repousse, a skill which il Maestro Acquafresca, one of the last remaining artisanal masters, has dedicated his life towards advancing.

Through his courses, Acquafresca is able to breathe life into the energy of the Florentine Renaissance while teaching the new theories and modern, contemporary techniques of metalworking to his students.
