Antonelli Institute
Antonelli History Antonelli Institute was founded in 1938 in Philadelphia by internationally renowned photographer and artist Severo Antonelli. The school’s founder, a major futurist and photographer, brought to the school his reputation as one of the leading photo-picturalists in the United States. Severo Antonelli's work was featured (twice) in what remains the largest one-man photography exhibits ever held at the Smithsonian Institution.

The school was founded to train both professional photographers and to train military photographers. Since that time, Antonelli Institute has continued to train professional photographers and has since added graphic design to its program offerings.
