Founded in 1964, based in Rome and Milan, Accademia Costume & Moda offers Undergraduate Master and Specialization programs in Fashion, Costume, Communication and Management.
The vision of the founder - the stylist, costume designer, journalist and Academic Rossana Pistolese- was to train and support the cultural heritage of the Italian fashion and costume industries with a unique and innovative approach, creating a constant interaction between these two fields. This DNA has been conserved and constantly regenerated with care by generations who have managed the Academy, first and foremost by Fiamma Lanzara, President of veternum, with passion and constant attention to changes in the sector. A coherent balance between research, culture, design, product and a close collaboration with the most important players in the sector have led the Costume & fashion academy to become an international point of reference in training.

The building completely renovated on the basis of their product and
concept by Studio Kami Architecture & Engineering, is spread over six floors and has a total internal area of 5,000 sq meters.

The tour conducted in English, will last approximately 1hr and a half. It will include a brief presentation of the Accademia from its founding to the present day; a tour of the tailoring and accessories workshops and a visit to the Lanzara Library.

Improve your Italian with Fluency & Confidence Coach Elisabetta Maccani! The 60‑minute online session is dedicated to AWAR members who already know some Italian (can handle basic conversations) and want to feel more natural and confident when they speak.

These free sessions focus on real‑life skills that often cause difficulty – for example asking better questions, using pronouns, expressing opinions with the subjunctive, or keeping a conversation going beyond small talk – with clear explanations and practical activities.

Every session is shaped by the needs of the women who join: we start from the situations and difficulties they describe, and work in a very focused way to give them concrete tools to overcome those challenges in Italian.

The event will be held via Zoom so you can join from anywhere. The link to join will be sent via email after you register.

The event will be held the first Tuesday of the months: February, March, April, May, and June.

Write to president@awar.org with any questions.
