My experience in Florence was more than awesome.. The city is beautiful, inspiring, cozy and inveterate. people are also great and very friendly.
I went to FIDI "Florence Institute of Design International" for an Interior Design Masters last year.I honestly it is one of the best schools in Florence. Professors are very well picked, innovative and super helpful. They push you to create new ideas, get involved with design aspects and technicalities through exploration of actual real life inspirations.
Courses were very useful and as expected to be. Not only that but Marc Di Domenico "The Institute's director" always cared to be updated with the real market, so he would arrange field trips such as visiting the Salone Di Mobile, The bologna fair for ceramics and we even visited furniture factories to get in touch with the industrial aspect!
Surprisingly, special workshops were also added for free to the courses, like sketch up - photoshop, illustrator and In Design - Drawing classes as well as getting to meet up and work together with 4 designers from the radicals of the 60's from UFO, 9999, Archizoom and superstudio, that is a life time opportunity that was offered on a golden plate!
Besides, the school itself is really nice and organized, people are very contributing and helpful. Staff is amazing. I couldn't have asked for more. I learnt too much in a year and I would have regretted if I had decided to go to any another school.. I am GLAD I made the perfect choice! It was the year of my life and of course thanks to FIDI..
