Essentially it was your high level of professionalism that struck me. From the out set, when you first communicated with me over the Net, your tone, manner & attitude were impressive and so on my arriving in Florence I KNEW that I was in ‘good hands’!!

And from Day One of my arrival EVERYTHING went SO well and I consequently had a WONDERFUL 2 weeks – 2 weeks that will NEVER be forgotten !!
But it was not only your organisation of your school that was so good, but also the choice of staff who were appropriately placed to match the level of their students. For me the Beginner Italian classes were It fun, non threatening and a pleasure to attend each day + I learnt a lot!!
And finally, the Art History Course was FANTASTIC for again you had selected a teacher who was able to provide us with just the right amount of information + interest + challenge.
I took your drawing classes for one week and it was a unique experience I will never forget! Thank You.

I wanted to thank you for my time in September at the Accademia. Thank you for all your help … I miss you and my instructor… I have many new questions and I will be back for further education! You’re amazing.

Thank you again for a great experience at your Academy-I loved my one on one drawing class and will take home many important tips. Maestro was terrific and extremely kind and patient with me!

We spent a week with Maestro E. and @accademiadelgiglio drawing in the museums of Florence. We drew in 7 museums, viewed an amazing array of classical art work, stood in front of works we studied in Art History and thoroughly appreciated all we learned from E.:

technique, history, Italian, world travel, more places to visit, and where to find the best gelato and paninis. The team at AdG was very welcoming and helpful. We highly recommend spending a week with them!
We drew at Loggia de’ Lanzi, Museo degli Innocenti, the Archeological Museum of Florence, Palazzo Vecchio, Buonarroti Museum, Santa Croce Church and Bargello Museum.
I am writing to inform you of how beneficial the weekend course with E. has proven to be and that my own drawing and understanding of how to draw has developed dramatically since I have arrived home and put the lessons into practice.

E. kindly gave me his versions of the drawings he had me working on and these have proven a great help to have, to compare my development with and remind myself of his advice.
The walking tour E. took me on around Florence was also one of the highlights of my five weeks of travel through Europe.
I very much look forward to having the chance to study again at the Accademia in the not to distant future and will highly recommend others to do the same when visiting Florence.
I took drawing classes at Accademia del Giglio in September 2018. It was the best experience of my life. The course is very good. There are many people from all ages and places. Everyone is very polite. The teacher draw and teaches very well and is very kind to. I liked very much to study there and hope to return again.

If you’re interested in visiting Florence and learning more about the details of the art you’re seeing, this is the course for you! It makes the experience so much more meaningful when you have an educated guide who can take you right into the heart of the Renaissance in the most art-rich city in the world!

One year ago today I woke up in Florence for a month of study. These memories that keep popping up in my feed are killin me. That month was a life changer and again I find myself indebted to travel as my greatest teacher.
