The reality of this artisan workshop has fully developed during the centuries characterized by the direct relationship between the Renaissance art developed within this precise framework and found their proper fertile ground in the craftmenship and in its teaching methods.It is just taking advantage of this lesson that Prof. Massimo Baicchi has set out his own work in the Bottega dell'Acquaforte, even if technology is now getting the upper hand. The real vocational training is therefore fundamental for the young artist who practices the different form of arts.

Through the publishing activity of the "Bottega", the "International School of Art" has originated with workshops of training and specialization in the graphic and painting techniques. Workshop and School in their production and every day research try to preserve the importance of ancient art,and at the research in the manipulation of materials. This was just what happened in the ancient artisan workshop of Florence and it still meets the requirements of the current professionalism in the artisan field.
