Opens a studio-academy in Bologna
In 1582 Annibale, his brother Agostino and his cousin Ludovico opened a painters’ studio in Bologna, at first called the Academy of the Desiderosi and then the Incamminati, “those opening a new way”. It is considered the first major art school based on life drawing and was the model for later art schools throughout Europe.
