Answer 1

embassies do not give out scholarships. you need to look into schools that have scholarship programs for international students. if they do, i doubt if they're going to pay for your entire expenses though. most likely, they're going to waive your tuition but you're still going to have to pay for your accomodations and eveyrday expenses.

Answer 2

Although it is not in Milan, there is an institution in Italy that organizes courses for aspiring shoe designers, which includes a stage in shoemaking industries in central Italy.

Its name is CERCAL (Centro ricerca e scuola internazionale calzaturiera - Research Center and International Shoemaking School), and it's located in Via dell’Indipendenza, 12 – 47030 San Mauro Pascoli (FC) Italy.
