The eighteenth-century Palace where is based this academy, placed in "Piazza di Spagna" and owned by the Vatican, was first a missionary school and then become the Italian stylist Valentino's atelier. Due to the historical condition of the bulting,  the Academy  project provided the restoration of the vaulted masonries, original wooden doors and  the horizontal structures. The existing  entrance hall and  the original noble staircases are treated as a new iconical space.
