A city of exceptional history and the centre of international diplomacy, cinema and national public television, Rome teems with unique archaeological, historical and social heritage and today provides an alternative modern model to Milan, offering collective artistic and cultural productions that dialogue with the city’s past and recent history.
Architectural works such as the Auditorium Parco della Musica by Renzo Piano or the MAXXI: Museum of XXI century Arts by Zaha Hadid become the “Roman Forum” of modern society, a public space for meeting and sharing through artistic language, open to the city and to its inhabitants.

Rome thus continues to be an ideal place to create connections, relationships and designs.

Why study in Rome?

The capital of Italian Culture and Cinema

A lively and pulsating city, Rome offers students numerous cultural stimuli, thanks mainly to events of international importance such as the David di Donatello and the Festa del Cinema, which reconfirm Rome’s role as the capital of the Italian cinema industry, home to Cinecittà and some of the most important film and television studios in Italy, as well as an extraordinary open-air set used by great directors from all over the world. Today, internationally renowned directors still refer to Roman tailor’s, such as Tirelli Costumi - who won 17 Oscar Awards collaborating with directors such as Tim Burton and Martin Scorsese -, to create costumes, shoes and accessories.

An international heart in the centre of Italy

Rome is an international city, in fact, in addition to being the capital of Italy and where the Italian government and parliament are based, international organisations such as the UN and FAO are located here, as are the embassies of foreign countries. For this reason, it counts millions of international presences every year, comprising not only tourists, but also professionals, diplomats and students from all over the world.

Rome’s central location enables students to easily reach all area's of Italy.
