We can assert with complete conviction that the culminating outburst of the theatre
in all Europe, in the seventeenth century-Shakespeare  in England, Lope and Calderon in Spain,
Moliere in France- is a direct outgrowth of the Italian matrix.
Luigi Pirandello 1867-1936  

Those who come to study at the Accademia will combine an intensive Italian language program and academic studies with a semester or 4-6 weeks (Summer) of high level theatre, music and dance performance training. Our commitment is to approach the notion of artist in a holistic and comprehensive manner, combining rigorous technical training with the aim of achieving an overall synergy of skills that will help to develop students both professionally and personally.
