ISIA, the Higher Institute for Artistic Industries of Pescara, is a public university-level institution that falls under the AFAM sector (Higher Artistic, Musical, and Choreutic Education) of the MUR (Ministry of Universities and Research). ISIA Pescara stands out for its excellence in the fields of design, communication, and multimedia, adopting an educational methodology that prioritises the programmed access of students, the quality and completeness of the study plan, and the high professionalism and motivation of its teaching staff.

Founded in 2009 with the support of the Pescarabruzzo Foundation, ISIA Pescara is characterised by an innovative educational approach that involves small groups of students and a team of lecturers selected from the best professionals in the region. This favourable numerical ratio allows for the training of young professionals in the three-year first-level course in Product and Communication Design and the two-year specialised course in Product and Multimedia Communication Design. Additionally, the institute offers specialised master’s programmes in Yacht Design and Filmmaker of Art, advanced courses that address the specific needs of the region.

ISIA Pescara promotes territorial design, inspired by the figure of Corradino D’Ascanio, a renowned engineer and inventor from Abruzzo. This approach enhances local roots, integrating innovation with the cultural and technical heritage of the region. The master’s programmes in Yacht Design and Filmmaker of Art are closely linked to the social, cultural, and anthropological characteristics of the region, training professionals capable of working in the most innovative and dynamic sectors of design, communication, and multimedia, thereby contributing to the cultural and technological development of the region.

The master’s programme in Yacht Design is particularly connected to the city of Pescara, a city with a strong bond with the sea. This educational path is distinguished by its focus on the design and realisation of innovative vessels, with a particular emphasis on sustainability and the use of advanced materials. The proximity to the sea allows Pescara students to experience and understand the dynamics of the nautical sector in a real context, enriching their training with direct practical experiences. This master’s programme prepares professionals capable of addressing the challenges of the nautical sector, combining technical, aesthetic, and functional skills.

The master’s programme in Filmmaker of Art, on the other hand, focuses on creating audiovisual content that enhances the artistic and cultural heritage of the region. Students learn the techniques of directing, editing, and production, developing projects that tell stories of art, traditions, and innovation, contributing to the dissemination of Abruzzo’s cultural wealth through the cinematic language.

ISIA Pescara is committed to creating a stimulating and dynamic learning environment where students can develop their skills and talents in a context that promotes creativity, innovation, and interdisciplinarity. Thanks to programmed access, each student receives personalised attention and has the opportunity to actively participate in educational and design activities, in a continuous exchange of ideas and knowledge with teachers and classmates.

The quality and completeness of the study plan are further strengthened by the presence of state-of-the-art laboratories and the use of innovative technologies, allowing students to acquire high-level practical and theoretical skills. ISIA Pescara also collaborates with numerous local, national, and international entities, offering students opportunities for internships and projects with prestigious companies and institutions.

The institute serves as a reference point for design and communication in the regional and national context, contributing to the enhancement and promotion of Abruzzo’s cultural and artistic heritage. The research activities and projects developed within ISIA Pescara are often oriented towards themes of great social and cultural relevance, fostering interaction between the academic world, the productive fabric, and the local community.

In conclusion, ISIA Pescara represents excellence in the field of higher artistic and design education in Italy, offering its students a comprehensive and innovative education that combines theory and practice, tradition and modernity. Thanks to the quality of its courses and the passion of its teaching staff, the institute trains professionals ready to make a difference in the fields of design, communication, and multimedia, significantly contributing to the cultural and technological progress of the region.
