Making of: Arsutoria School

In this edition: a new hub for the future of education, generative AI as a learning tool, and students' diploma projects.

A new direction for the future of education

Arsutoria School and Istituto Secoli announce a new campus in Milan’s Certosa District, opening in the second half of 2026. These two Italian institutions, with over 90 years of history, announce the opening of their new Milan campus on Via Barrella, in the heart of the “Certosa District” project developed by RealStep. Starting in mid-2026, the institutions will share a modern campus, designed to house laboratories, research areas, and student living spaces.

Artificial Intelligence in the Arsutoria School’s Design Course: Tools, Methodology, and Student Experience

Speed up, amplify, and make the final project more readable. Valentino Parlato, coordinator of the Arsutoria School’s design courses, comments: “AI shortens time, but creativity and technique remain the human side of the work.” This is the vision that guides the school’s shoe and bag design courses: integrating advanced tools while maintaining a solid foundation in drawing, technical knowledge, and digitalization. It is from this core that AI becomes a true ally.

Arsutoria School and Newlast join forces for training in last design

Following the experience gained during 2025 at the Fermo ITS, which saw the launch of the first training course on lasts organized by Arsutoria in collaboration with Newlast, the Milanese school has decided to invest further resources in the extraordinary world of last design. The arrival of a next-generation 3D scanner marks a new step forward in training courses dedicated to lasts and soles.
