MADE Institute

Find inspiration on the sea.

With emphasis on the history of local land and culture, MADE Institute uses the whole of Sicily as a classroom. Situated in a historic art nouveau building, Palazzo Boccadifuoco, the school overlooks the ocean, just steps from the island center of Ortigia. MADE Institute offers an in-depth look at Mediterranean culture by way of anthropology, art & design, history and economics. Set apart from the modern tourist thoroughfare of Italy, Sicily offers ideal conditions for cultivating creativity and expansion of our western world view. At MADE Institute students become an integral part of the historical and artistic preservation of this ancient land and all it has to offer.
