The Accademia di Belle Arti di Perugia ("Academy of Fine Arts of Perugia") is a public tertiary academy of art in Perugia, in Umbria in central Italy. It is not one of the 20 official Italian state academies of fine art,[1] but is legally recognised by the Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Università e della Ricerca, the Italian ministry of education and research, which gives its full name as Accademia di Belle Arti Legalmente Riconosciuta di Perugia "Pietro Vannucci".[2] The academy became an autonomous degree-awarding institution under law no. 508 dated 21 December 1999.[3][4]
