Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA) is a private academy of fine arts founded in 1980 in Milan, Italy. Recognized by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR), it is a leading institution in art and design education. NABA is distinguished by its innovative teaching methodologies, multidisciplinary approach, and its emphasis on combining artistic expression with contemporary design and communication practices. It offers bachelor's and master's degree programs in areas like design, visual arts, and communication. The institution has a highly international environment, with students from over 70 countries.

Following the “learning by doing” approach, the BA alternates and integrates theoretical studies with experiential workshops. After having explored basic concepts and techniques, students learn to observe the multitude of contemporary forms of design and how to apply them to their work. The course aims at stimulating sensitivity and passion for the world of objects, understood as cultural artefacts that reflect and shape human life. It explores space as an environment, examining its interactions with objects and its function as a stage for individual and collective rituals.

NABA is one of Italy’s premier art and design schools, offering a blend of academic tradition and modern creative education. Its programs are taught by experienced professionals and industry experts, ensuring students receive practical, hands-on training. NABA has campuses in Milan and Rome, providing access to two of Italy’s most vibrant cultural and design hubs. The academy is renowned for its industry partnerships, providing students opportunities to work on real-world projects and internships with leading companies and organizations. NABA graduates are highly sought after in the fields of art, design, and communication, both in Italy and internationally.
