NABA ProjectANGELO COLELLA

NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, is an internationally renowned art and design academy located at the center of Milan’s world-famous design scene.

Founded in 1980, NABA is the largest private art academy in Italy. It offers bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in Italian and in English that are accredited by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR) and internationally recognized.

The BA programs are a continuous sequence of multidisciplinary experiences that generate research and projects in the artistic and professional context of current trends. Ideas become projects, strategies, techniques, technologies; ideas become prototypes and in some cases even products marketed by the companies we partner with.

Artists, designers, product managers, and all the professionals involved in the productive cycle support us in bringing our ideas to life.

The teams of teachers, technicians, craftsmen and new techs work in the world and collaborate with our school, turning our classes and groups into teams.

The continuous experience in teams, in constant relationship with companies and research institutes, represents the methodological approach that stimulates innovation and guides us in designing the future together.

My time at NABA opened a window of possibilities and exposed me to a multicultural environment, taking my career to another level and landing me in very interesting jobs. If I could go back in time, I would choose NABA again and again.
