Schools of art and design Istituto Marangoni operate in Europe and Asia: in Milan, Florence, Paris, London, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Mumbai. Now one will appear in America. The choice of Miami fell largely due to its proximity to Latin America - so it will be able to cover two continents at once. And, of course, because of the unfailing popularity of Design Miami. The district is chosen appropriate - Design District with its art galleries, antique salons and architectural studios.

In the training, the main focus so far has been on the fashion industry - two and four-year programs are being offered to design clothes, art in fashion, fashion business, and various short courses. The teachers are European pros. Among them, Istituto Marangoni graduate designer Massimo Casagrande, who collaborated with Versace, Tom Ford, Erdem, Richard Nicolls and other brands.
