Professor Davide Cadeddu, University of Milan

Target group

The course is open to students, graduates and professional from varying areas of study wishing to enrich their experience and enhance their CVs. The participants will develop their knowledge in the area of Made in Italy/Made by Italics, refine their cultural awareness of the values of Italian identity and question the stereotypes often confronted.

Course aim

What are the characteristics of “Made in Italy”? What are the characteristics of “Made by Italics”? What is the difference between the two?

The Summer School proposes a course of study, in residence, aimed at a deeper understanding (far from the clichés and easy slogans) of the character, complexity and influence of Italic culture in the world.
The course has five thematic areas (art, music, fashion, design and gastronomy) in which the prerogatives affirming Italian excellence globally will be presented, examined and discussed. The evocative context of the Island of San Servolo in Venice, where the participants will both study and live, will contribute to their experience of the essence of Italian culture throughout the entire week
