Artedo Network

What Artedo Network does

Artedo Network Srl is a privately-held Italian e-learning company headquartered in Lecce, operating the Artedo Academy platform (artedo-academy.it) since 2019. The company delivers asynchronous online courses and master programs in three primary domains: emotional intelligence and pedagogy for school teachers, arts therapies (art therapy, dance-movement therapy, music therapy, theater therapy), and personal growth. Its courses carry MIM/MIUR accreditation with SOFIA codes, allowing Italian public-school teachers to use government-issued Carta del Docente and 18app training budgets for enrollment. The platform is built on WordPress and WooCommerce with a proprietary learning management layer; it supports 24/7 asynchronous video access, lifetime course access, immediate certificate issuance, and multiple payment methods (credit card, PayPal, Klarna installments, bank transfer installments).

The company's core intellectual property is the proprietary 'Metodo Autobiografico Creativo per l'Intelligenza Emotiva' (Creative Autobiographical Method for Emotional Intelligence), developed by founder and president Stefano Centonze, a credentialed psychiatrist and ISO 17024-certified art therapist who co-authored Italian legislative proposal 2782/2020 on emotional intelligence education. This methodology underpins multiple master programs and is extended into a publishing imprint (Edizioni Circolo Virtuoso) producing books and music bundled with course offerings. The go-to-market is fully product-led and direct-to-consumer: customers self-serve on artedo-academy.it, with no sales team, no resellers, and no international distribution. The business model is one-time course purchase with optional installment financing, at price points ranging from €39 (short courses) to €690 (master programs, frequently discounted to €190–€270). As of 2026, the company has 8 employees, is bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional funding, and operates exclusively in the Italian market.
