Welcome to NABA

If you are considering devoting your summer vacations to a short study and training experience in Milano, I would be pleased to welcome you to the 2011 NABA Summer Session. For NABA this will be a very special one as it will coincide with the celebration of its 30th anniversary.

Founded in 1980, on the initiative of a group of artists and intellectuals, it was the first private Academy legally recognized by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research, and the first to introduce the study of fashion and graphic design in the fine arts curriculum.

For 30 years we have used and refined our proven educational method that fully integrates classroom study with experiential workshop practice with a focus on the cross-disciplinary approach of education.
With students from almost 50 different countries, NABA community benefits from a broad diversity of cultures and ideas.
Here in Milano you will have an unequalled opportunity not just to learn design, fashion and communication, but also to immerse yourself in a vibrant, stimulating creative culture that will be an asset to your education and professional experience. Though for a short period, our faculty will accompany you in an exciting journey through the real meaning of Italian Style and help you turn your artistic passion into a fulfilling training experience.

We will welcome you in our 10-building campus which is part of a renovated industrial complex with notable architectural value located downtown in the historical and fascinating Navigli district.

We hope that your summer session at NABA will be an enriching and challenging experience.

At the same time NABA community will learn from you as you will bring your enthusiasm and your cultural heritage thus making the program beneficial to everyone.

Benvenuto in NABA
