The term "Italian school" refers to a system of style classification from a given region or city. The most famous Italian schools are: the Florentine school, the Roman school, the Venetian school and the Bolognese school. Other regions or artistic centres also gave rise to schools, such as Emilia-Romagna (the Forli school and the Parma school), Lombardy (the Lombardy school, the Mantua school) and Tuscany (which, in addition to the Florentine school, also includes the Sienese and Lucan schools).

Florence is a major artistic centre, considered by historiography as the cradle of the Renaissance. Its school is said to have been founded in the 13th century by Cimabue. He is also recognised by Giorgio Vasari as the first artist to break free from the Byzantine tradition. His artistic concepts were continued by the pupils of his workshop, such as Giotto. The Florentine school reached its peak in the 15th century in the work of Michelangelo. Michelangelo's creations demonstrate the pre-eminence of drawing which is one of the characteristics of the Florentine school. Other artists, such as Giotto, Masaccio, Sandro Botticelli and Pisanello, contributed to its influence. The Roman school is based in Rome also known as the “eternal city”. Its main representative is Raphael. The Venetian school developed from the 14th to the 18th century in the Venice region. It is characterized by a mastery of colour, the "Venetian colouring". Its main representatives are Titian, Antonio Canaletto, and Francesco Guardi (the last two also being representatives of Italian Vedutisme). Finally, the Bologna school was founded around the city of Bologna, the capital of the Emilia-Romagna region. The Carracci brothers and cousins, Guido Reni and L'Albane are its main representatives.
