and the people can learn easily how to prepare italian food.
Our cooking courses combine the experience of the italian
food in kitchen with the wine tasting.

We'll pick up our vegetables directly from the kitchen garden
and we'll make use the fruits of the earth for a creative
cooking.
We'll prepare our dinner together following the traditional
cooking, from the homemade pasta, and in particular the
"fusilli of zia Carmela", "Pizza of mamma
Gabriella", fish plates of Anna Maria, tuscany food
and "game plates di Cesare", and then mediterranen
cooking, roman cooking and napolitan cooking.
You'll learn how to taste white and red wine and how to

eight hours to learn, as you want, the art of stained glass,

laboratory.
The introduction of ancient arts in the daily life to renew
the mostly limited and repetitive craftsmanship is the philosophy
that inspires the courses of this ten-year experienced school.
Moreover, it's a new discovery of the enjoyment of the beautiful
things by seeing, touching, using them. It can be seen in
the apprentices' works, as they get pleasure in approaching
art and develope their own way to observe and express themselves.
