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.
[citation needed] In 1994 the Nuova Accademia received one of the forty "Ambrogino" certificates of civic merit awarded each year by the Comune of Milan.
[2] In 2008 NABA began hosting a "node" of the Planetary-Collegium research platform of the University of Plymouth.
In December 2009 Bastogi sold it to Laureate Education of Baltimore, Maryland, for €22 million.
[6] 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.
