Secoli in Numbers
"The technical-scientific training at Istituto Secoli provided me with the foundation to shape the geometries that I now create collection after collection; a daily perspective aimed at perceiving the entropy that surrounds me."
"I chose Istituto Secoli because, after my first year in Italy, when I understood the fundamental importance of mastering pattern making, I explored other schools, but Secoli stood out as a serious and rigorous institution, and I had no doubt in my decision."
"Studying at Istituto Secoli was my dream from the moment I heard about it at my first university. The fact that there was a school with the exact training I wanted, pattern making, made my choice so easy that once I graduated, two days later I was already in class for the Master's course."
