On March 2019, the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) held its annual Open Day across seven Italian campuses: Milan, Rome, Turin, Venice, Florence, Cagliari, and Como. Founded over 50 years ago by Francesco Morelli, IED now operates 11 campuses worldwide. The event offered prospective students information on undergraduate, master's, specialization, and advanced training courses in Design, Fashion, Visual Arts, and Communication. In Milan, director Sara Azzone welcomed attendees to a new master's and advanced training hub at via Cadore 2. Rome's Open Day featured greetings from director Laura Negrini and alumni testimonials. Turin, directed by Paola Zini, highlighted courses focusing on enterprise, research, and culture in urban scenarios. Cagliari, under Monica Scanu, offered first-level academic diplomas. Venice, at Palazzo Franchetti under Enrico Bettinello, provided professionalizing courses in event management, visual merchandising, branding, costume design, interior design, and glass design. Como's Accademia Aldo Galli, led by Raffaella Porta, offered three-year courses recognized by MIUR and a master's in restoration accredited by MiBACT. Florence, directed by Igor Zanti, included orientation workshops in visual arts, design, and fashion led by Camilla Catrambon, Francesca Pazzagli, and Sabrina Fichi.
