Saint Ambrogio di Valpolicella

Year of foundation: 1986
 

Origins and Development: The Vocational Training Centre for marble setters can be considered the "son" of the historical Art School of "Paolo Brenzoni", born from the intuition of the Count Paolo Brenzoni that, in 1868, founded a school for stonecutters. Through the work of its students the Art School has brought to fame, all over the world,  the name of Sant'Ambrogio’s marbles and brought the town of Sant'Ambrogio to rank among the best-known international marble processing and production centres. In 1986 in order to meet the demands of workers prepared to new technologies the district of Sant’Ambrogio launched the new Vocational Training Centre, with the support of the Veneto Region, relying on the teaching and educational skills of the Salesian Institute of "San Zeno" in Verona. Since 2004 the Administration of the district of Sant’Ambrogio has equipped the Centre with a modern laboratory, certainly unique in Italy and in Europe and probably in the world, which allows a complete training.

Sectors and activities today: it promotes Initial and Higher Vocational Training activities.

It mainly operates in Mechanical sector (marble processing).
