In early August 2026, Italian art academies implemented various academic and administrative changes. The Accademia di Belle Arti L'Aquila announced a provisional ranking for a new ceramic restoration course, while the Accademia Belle Arti Viterbo confirmed its summer closure.

By late August, administrative updates continued regarding the 2026/2027 school year. The USR Umbria issued notices concerning teaching staff substitutes, national project assignments, and the permanent hiring of ATA personnel. Additionally, a decree extended the term for university tutors in qualifying courses through December 31, 2026, and the Accademia di Belle Arti L’Aquila scheduled an online revision session for September 1, 2026.

In early September 2026, academies released further academic schedules and notices. The Accademia di Belle Arti L’Aquila published the autumn session thesis calendar for both two-year and three-year programs for the 2025/2026 academic year. Meanwhile, the Accademia di Belle Arti Lecce announced that revisions for the ‘Tecniche dell’Incisione ed Editoria I II’ course, led by Professor Greco, were scheduled for September 4.
