MADE Institute
NEW Summer Program Coming Soon!
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.

Student Life at MADE
Students at MADE Institute feel quickly at home in the local community, as they shop in the daily outdoor markets, join locals for evening outdoor performances and activities, and savor an experience like no other. Students live in apartments in the historical heart of the city, Ortigia, just steps from the seaside. On weekends, students can explore all that the island of Sicily has to offer, or can easily hop on a train or flight to the rest of Italy, Europe and beyond.
