Accademia Riaci (Florence, Italy)

Upon founding the studio in 1983, Maestro Raymond Riachi had a strong vision to create a school that not only taught his techniques, but enlightened young artists with the lively spirit and atmosphere of the Renaissance, in order to fulfill his life long mission as a Maestro. This was how Accademia Riaci was founded: a treasure box of traditional art and its irreplaceable techniques. Its teaching secretly contains techniques unknown to any other school, and the academy strives to nurture and develop the imagination and fantasy in each and every single student.

Starting as a small art studio, today the same passionate mission has lit up not only a single maestro, but a spectacular team of teachers representing the best Italian artists in Florence, retaining the founder and Honorary President's vision of tradition and spirit, expressed in the quote. Our students body have represented over 15 countries world wide, pursuing their art in the fields of Design, Crafts, Fine Arts, Language Arts, Art History, and most recently Italian Culinary Arts, never failing to inspire them.
