In today's episode of Kirby's Grand Italian Tour, we travel 20 minutes outside of Florence to the Porta Romana to visit SCHOLA Academy, a school dedicated to the preservation of traditional craft. Established by Tommaso Melani, CEO of Stefano Bemer, the school seeks to revitalize the rich traditions of craftsmanship found in Florence: leather making, cooking, shoemaking, and traditional ceramics.

⚜ SCHOLA is an academy, based in Florence, dedicated to craftsmanship and uncompromised quality. The unique methodology blends technical skills with a creative and cultural approach. The school is an ecosystem where future Artisans from all over the world learn and improve their skills in a contemporary Bottega, breathing and embracing the Made in Italy values and secrets every day. Their courses are designed in collaboration with exclusive brands for Bespoke Products: Stefano Bemer, Scuola del Cuoio, SUPERDUPER Hats and Cibrèo.
