“I have always enjoyed teaching and passing on to students the knowledge I gained in the industry, and above all, the passion for this profession. We develop an almost “family-like” relationship with the students, which allows us teachers to learn about their stories, their dreams, and the deep motivations that led them to enroll here. I believe this is an added value, alongside, of course, the excellence in technical and design preparation for which Istituto Secoli is internationally renowned “.
