Brera Academy leaves Milan: its innovative museum will be born in Saronno

On the occasion of the Opening Day of the academic year of theBrera Academy of Fine Arts, President Livia Pomodoro announced that an innovative museum of the Academy will be created in theformer Isotta Fraschini factory in Saronno. "We received a very interesting proposal and we accepted it even after appreciating the master plan of the project itself,“ she said, ”that is to create an innovative museum of our Academy in the former Isotta Fraschini area of Saronno. We are bearers of culture and we have a duty to welcome students from all over the world and therefore to expand our spaces, leaving our usual home, that is, Milan: we must make ourselves known and be known and be promoters of cultural dissemination in the territory: it is in this direction that our opening in Saronno goes."

“The vision of an innovative museum must harmonize education, social, and training and must have an open relationship with the territory: it cannot disregard the collaboration between museum and higher education such as that of Brera,” added Academy director Giovanni Iovane .

Satisfied and proud is the mayor of Saronno, Augusto Airoldi, who commented after learning the news, “The communicated choice to establish in our territory a new headquarters of one of the most prestigious academies of fine arts in the world is an extraordinary contribution to the revitalization of the whole city.” “The result achieved stimulates us, in the correct distinction of roles between public administration and private individuals, to work even more intensively with Giuseppe Gorla, owner of the ex-Isotta Fraschini area, and with Angelo Proserpio, his ally in this undertaking,” Airoldi concludes. "As an Administration, we want the urban regeneration possible in the Isotta Fraschini area to become a paradigm of a different way of recovering disused areas to make them the site of new opportunities for our city."
