There are a few places I like to go for modern art work:

www.ikea.com: This site is exceptionally european, and the artwork is the like.

Www.westelm.com: More contemporary than I've seen at a lot of sites. Their furniture is awesome too!

When all else fails, www.art.com has TONS of prints to choose from. You can even have it framed!

These places though, might send you back a few dollars. If you're looking for cost effective, try making yourself an original! No one else will have what you have, if you do it yourself! Go to an arts supply store, buy stretched canvas in any size you like, and acrylic paints. Acrylic paints usually come in a little plastic bottle, and in a million different colors. Buy a couple of interesting paint brushes, and go to town!!

Lots of luck!

See, the point is that , unless you are searching for private courses, italian schools have different specializations and it's hard to find one that contains both good languages and modern art classes. I would suggest you concentrate your search to modern art, and then take some private lesson regarding italian.
One of the best art school is surely accademia di brera, in milan (lombardy, up north). A bit far from florence, but it is the best suggestion i can give

Graphic design is a creative process – most often involving a client and a designer and usually completed in conjunction with producers of form (i.e., printers, programmers, signmakers, etc.) – undertaken in order to convey a specific message (or messages) to a targeted audience. The term "graphic design" can also refer to a number of artistic and professional disciplines that focus on visual communication and presentation. The field as a whole is also often referred to as Visual Communication or Communication Design. Various methods are used to create and combine words, symbols, and images to create a visual representation of ideas and messages. A graphic designer may use typography, visual arts and page layout techniques to produce the final result. Graphic design often refers to both the process (designing) by which the communication is created and the products (designs) which are generated.

Common uses of graphic design include identity (logos and branding), web sites, publications (magazines, newspapers, and books), advertisements and product packaging. For example, a product package might include a logo or other artwork, organized text and pure design elements such as shapes and color which unify the piece. Composition is one of the most important features of graphic design, especially when using pre-existing materials or diverse elements

The growth of the graphic design industry has grown in parallel with the rise of consumerism. This has raised some concerns and criticisms, notably from within the graphic design community with the First Things First manifesto. First launched by Ken Garland in 1964, it was re-published as the First Things First 2000 manifesto in 1999 in the magazine Emigre 51 stating "We propose a reversal of priorities in favor of more useful, lasting and democratic forms of communication - a mindshift away from product marketing and toward the exploration and production of a new kind of meaning. The scope of debate is shrinking; it must expand. Consumerism is running uncontested; it must be challenged by other perspectives expressed, in part, through the visual languages and resources of design." Both editions attracted signatures from respected design practitioners and thinkers, for example; Rudy VanderLans, Erik Spiekermann, Ellen Lupton and Rick Poynor. The 2000 manifesto was also notably published in Adbusters, known for its strong critiques of visual culture.
