NABA

E
NABA is Italy's largest private academy legally recognised by the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR). It was founded in 1980 by Ausonio Zappa and a group of artists, including Guido Ballo, Gianni Colombo, Franco Grignani, Carlo Mo, Emilio Tadini, Tito Varisco and Luigi Veronesi, with the aim of challenging the rigidity of academic tradition and introducing visions and languages closer to contemporary artistic practices and the art system and creative professions.
It offers first and second level courses in the fields of design, fashion design, graphics and communication, multimedia arts, scenography and visual arts, for which it awards academic diplomas that are equivalent to university degrees.

Visiting the 'Fratelli Cozzi - Alfa Romeo Museum' was a great emotion for me because it reminded me of the stories about my grandfather, a passionate Alfista.
The path leading to the lower floor, where the historic cars are collected, is very fascinating. The staircase with its soft "Alfa red" light combined with the sound of the car manufacturer's engines immerses you in an atmosphere of speed and rivalry.

Davide attended from 2011 to 2016 the Olga Fiorini High School in Busto Arsizio - VA, technical course of Graphic Design & Communication. Since October 2016 he has been attending the university "Naba" (Nuova Accademia Belle Arti di Milano) in the Graphic Design & Art Direction department.

DAVIDE RECOUNTS HIS EXPERIENCE:

During the years spent at the Olga Fiorini High School in Busto Arsizio in the Graphics & Communication department, I was able to develop both graphic and photographic projects by taking part in internal and external exhibitions.

During the 3rd and 4th year I did an internship at the Photographic Studio "Studio Immaginario" in Legnano - MI, where I deepened the concepts and techniques related to digital photography and post - production to create a photo book.
After graduating, I was able to face another internship in the field of digital graphics at the "Colori Project" of Vanzago - MI.

During my university career, I developed several projects concerning digital graphics, including a photo book entitled "Milano Luoghi Comuni" (Milan Common Places), which was also the subject of an examination for the photography subject of Professor Marco Viganò at the "Naba" (New Academy of Fine Arts) University in Milan.
Inside, I have included some photos of the most significant places in the city of Milan and, I also wanted to make known some places of excellence in the North West of Milan, including the Fratelli Cozzi Museum in Legnano (MI) and the museum "Officina Rancilio 1926" in Parabiago - MI.
