The Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti ('new academy of fine arts'), also known as NABA, is a private academy of fine art in Milan, in Lombardy in northern Italy. It has approximately 3000 students,[1] some of whom are from abroad; it participates in the Erasmus Programme.
History
The Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti was started in Milan in 1980 by Guido Ballo, Tito Varisco and Ausonio Zappa.[2]: 313 From 1985 to 1993 the artist Gianni Colombo was director of the school.[2]: 314
In 1994 the academy received one of the forty "Ambrogino" certificates of civic merit awarded each year by the Comune of Milan.[3]
In 2008 the school began hosting a "node" of the Planetary-Collegium research platform of the University of Plymouth.[4]
The academy was bought by Bastogi Spa of Milan in 2002. In December 2009 Bastogi sold it to Laureate Education of Baltimore, Maryland, for €22 million.[5][6] In 2017, Laureate Education sold it to Galileo Global Education as part of a $263-million deal that also included Domus Academy.[7]
The school is listed by the Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Università e della Ricerca, the Italian ministry of education, as a "legally recognised academy" in the AFAM classification of schools of music, art and dance that are considered equivalent to a traditional university.[8]
