course instead of another one?
Our is not a traditional school with school benches,
but a real workshop where every day you will be able
to join
10 marble
artisans.
We will try to help our students to learn the art of
marble carving, living a real experience in a real
workshop.

for the
art, but
also difficulties and problems of this art today.
