The Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna is one of the oldest institutions of its kind in Italy. Founded in 1706 to promote the arts and handicrafts in Emilia Romagna, in 1711 it was moved to the fifteenth-century convent of Sant’Ignazio, in the heart of the university district (Bologna has the world’s oldest recorded university) and was later extended.
It is now one of Italy’s leading artistic institutes, with 1500 students enrolled in the departments of Visual Arts, Applied Arts and Communication and Theory of Art. The first department is home to the schools of Painting, Sculpting, Decoration and Graphics (a multifaceted understanding of Art). Applied Arts incorporates Set Design, Restoration and Artistic Design for Industry. Communication and Theory of Art incorporates a school of the same name, as well as Strip Cartoons and Illustration.

The pictures illustrating this issue were produced by students from Illustration and Strip Cartoons, and Graphic Design (specialising in Artistic Design for Industry). The wide variety of degree courses (three-year courses plus two years of specialised studies) and the broad scope of many courses gives the Academy a multidisciplinary, humanistic approach intended to achieve a high level of professional ability together with a capacity for innovation. The Academy also has close links with its local environment: art galleries, theatres, businesses, agencies, publishers and the like, while its educational functions are accompanied by frequent exhibitions and conventions; the most recent include the National Art Prize (featuring the best works produced by Italian art students) and Imagine iT, a three-day conference on the subject of cultural differences, based on writing and visual communications.

Stefano Bonsi
The declaration of emotional independence of a brave Pinocchio who has decided to make himself a heart with a touch of creativity.
Marina Girardi
Progress flies! But where does its strength come from? My grandmother says that strength comes from the earth if treated with respect and knowledge handed down through generations.

Camilla Andreani
The picture pokes fun at the advertisements that proclaim “hand made according to tradition” for industrially-produced foodstuffs which are the result of a clinical production process.
Jacopo Ferretti
A good dish depends on the choice of the right ingredients.
Cristina Portolano
Handing down the tradition of DIY... doing things that need doing inside and outside the home… handing it down to children... to make sure it is not lost because it’s useful and necessary!
Elisabetta Gironi
The subject is two brothers who live in their own home, a place of creativity and relaxation. The theme is obvious from the subject and the actual collage, which takes time and manual ability.
Liliana Salone
ITEM no. MZ308 - Two boxes, one containing small fragments of stone, and the other, tools. They are joined by the map of a timeless city and three small cogs. Remains, traces left by man bearing witness to his passage. Indelible signs.
Nicolò Vasini
“Home made” is something that involves use of your hands, without interference, but in close contact with the material. Your hands have to get dirty!
Marco Temperilli
Sarah Khamisi
This illustration represents a home made product, a clock made from things in my room. To design the product I used dice, a vinyl disc and a measuring tape. Elements which are simple but complete, a combination between real and unreal space.
Simone Cortesi
Nothing can represent the concept of “home made” as well as a human being. Humans are born, grow up, and make things. And biscuits are a real delight.
Andrea Cagnini
The illustration comes from the association of the generic concept “home made” to the label “made in Italy” which is now almost impossible to find and only occasionally adorns a product. Pizza is an ironic interpretation of the clichéd Italian label that restricts “Italianness” to material values.
Senera Muratori
The tree is a symbol of Nature that creates things with its own strength, its hands, those of the human being.

... WIND ENERGY... “HOME MADE”... Energy and its source seen from a rather ironic point of view, a home made version with ice-cream spoons and a little person busy constructing a wind farm. A way to say that it only takes a little to do a lot.
Senera Muratori
SKY PAINTING. “Home made” also in the sense of vision. You can lose sight of small things. Every so often, it would be a good idea to try to redesign them with new eyes.
Senera Muratori
HOUSE OF ROLLING PINS. A kind of reinvention of the home, recycled with unusual objects like rolling pins, but deep down the concept is functional.
Laura Malinverni
I SHOULD HAVE LEARNED TO COOK. A horrifying idea when it comes to the breathless search for speed. A potential tragi-comic result of this market that forces us to accept goals that don’t belong to us and lets them proliferate.
Federica Castini
“HOME MADE” SUN. The photo is intended to show how man has gained the ability to imitate Nature, and imitate her “powers” in order to adapt them for domestic use.
Cristina Portolano
A family sipping a drink made at home… The choice of subject has a specific meaning, traditions that have now been lost. The photograph comes from an optical illusion and only if we distance our minds from it we can understand its importance.
Valentina Spina
An obvious allusion to an “instruction manual”, but the invitation to follow the directions reveals a lack of understanding: room for creativity.
Andrea Ferlauto
