LIFE MODEL SCHOOL & CRIS FERRANTINI ART STUDIO
The school project was conceived in 2011 by Juliano Hollivier and Cristina Ferrantini, so that they could teach the Life Model's Art. After Cris' death in 2016, Juliano continued his studies to support the creation of an innovative course that had not yet been seen in the body arts: Training in this ancient profession.
In 2017, the Life Model School, Art & Reference was opened, today in its own headquarters called Cris Ferrantini Art Studio.
