IED appoints Igor Zanti as Global Head of Arts & Restoration

Igor Zanti has been named Global Head of the Arts & Restoration Department at IED (Istituto Europeo di Design), succeeding his previous role as Director of IED Florence. Danilo Venturi takes over the Florence directorship. Zanti will oversee programs in art and restoration across IED's seven Italian campuses (Milan, Rome, Turin, Venice, Florence, Cagliari, Como) and international locations. The restoration curriculum is housed at Accademia Aldo Galli in Como, which offers a five-year single-cycle degree recognized by MIUR and is the only private school in Italy authorized to issue a second-level academic diploma in restoration. Zanti, an art historian and critic, aims to strengthen education in art professions and cultural heritage conservation, positioning the investment as a response to contemporary challenges and a driver of social renewal.
