Applied Arts and Education: Sullam’s Case

Keywords: Applied Arts, Education, Knowledge and Know How, Sullam, Venezia

Abstract

The study investigates the main themes and issues related to the teaching of Applied Arts in Italy between the 19th and 20th centuries. It highlights the historical separation between knowledge and know-how, artists and craftsmen in the Italian educational system, and the subsequent debate aimed at overcoming this dichotomy. This dualism will be partly reassembled in the nascent Architecture Schools. This is an Italian peculiarity that should be further investigated specially in the face of the recent educational autonomy gained by schools of design against Architecture.
