NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, announces International Expansion with New London Campus Opening in 2026
PRNewswire Milan [Italy], July 14: NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, is proud to announce the forthcoming opening of a new venue in the city of London. The London campus - NABA's first outside Italy - will take its place in the context of the Here East innovation and technology campus inside the Olympic Park and, starting from October 2026, it will be a strategic hub for the Academy's process of internationalisation and the benchmark for other future centres outside Italy. London has long been an international point of reference for artistic and creative education and is a strategic centre where innovation, culture and new trends in the sectors of art, fashion design and design come together, offering a dynamic educational proposal that is integrated with the evolution of the contemporary panorama. The opening of the new campus will enable NABA to take its place in an ideal context for cultivating new talent and promoting Italian heritage and know-how, as well as making a major contribution to building and shaping the future of the creative industries, in line with the Academy's mission "Through Artistic Intelligence, we nurture people to design a new tomorrow." The launch phases are being overseen by Daniele Bisello o Ragno, Managing Director of NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, along with Guido Tattoni, NABA Dean, and the Academy's Leadership Team: together, they are successfully driving forward its development strategy at the international level, of which the forthcoming London opening will be the first major milestone. Specifically, the new London campus - the third after Milan and Rome - will offer an educational proposal made up initially of three BAs in Design, Fashion Design and Fashion Marketing Management in addition to the Foundation Course from the start of the 2026/27 Academic Year. The programmes, all delivered in the English language, will be characterised by a strong practical, interdisciplinary orientation and connected with the world of work, thanks to laboratories furnished with technical equipment, where students will have the opportunity to create their own projects and improve their techniques: the Design Lab, the Fashion Design Lab and the Textile and Knitwear Lab, in addition to a studio classroom and a number of creative spaces. Students will be offered educational and academic services equivalent to the other two Italian centres with the possibility of making use of the Career Service, assistance in obtaining the necessary visas, psychological counselling and a library. The admission criteria will be in line and consistent with the model of NABA campus in Milan and Rome, with the option of transferring from one to another. Participants who successfully complete the three-year courses will obtain a BA (Hons) Degree accredited by Regent's University London, a leading historic London institution at the international level and, since 2020, part of the Galileo Global Education (GGE) group of which NABA is also a part. Through the partnership with the Academy, students will be offered the opportunity to obtain a qualification valid in the United Kingdom and recognised at the international level. The site will cover an area of more than 2,000 square metres within the innovation and technology centre 'Here East' in the heart of the Olympic Park, one of the most dynamic and innovative areas of the city and home of the Liverpool Media Academy, also part of the GGE group. London is a real outdoor laboratory, an ecosystem where artistic know-how merges with innovation and where the Academy's "learning by doing" approach can be showcased, characterised by the determination to create connections and openness to the future, not only as a space dedicated to education but also as an organisation where students can gain hands-on experience while working on real briefs and projects with companies and institutions, with the aim of thoroughly training the professionals of the future. Moreover, it will be an innovative centre with a focus on digital technologies and a sustainable approach, in line with NABA's sustainability manifesto. "At NABA, we believe in an education that trains people, not just professionals. With this opening, the Academy is strengthening its global vocation, creating an environment where cultures come together to design tomorrow together. The NABA campus in London will be an important step that allows us to replicate outside Italy the didactic and educational approach that has always set us apart and enables us to consolidate the Academy's positioning in the panorama of artistic education at the international level. Indeed, NABA was included in the 2025 QS World University Rankings® by Subject as the first and only Italian Academy of Fine Arts to be among the 100 best universities in the world in the field of Art & Design. Our aim is not just to offer an alternative to the great British institutions, we want to introduce a new voice, able to unite heritage and the avant-garde," said Daniele Bisello o Ragno, Managing Director of NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti. And he added: "Our uniqueness lies in the combination of the excellence of Italian design and an experiential and creative educational approach with interdisciplinary, tech-driven programmes connected with the creative industries. We offer classes tailor-made for the student, a 'boutique' model that values individual talent. Our wish is to be able to offer a model that can be replicated in other countries, in the short and long term. We hope that London is the first of many new premises at the global level." For further information visit NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti NABA is an international Academy focused on arts and design: it is the largest Academy of Fine Arts in Italy, and the first one to have been recognised by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR), back in 1981. In its campus in Milan, Rome and now also in London, NABA offers academic diplomas equivalent to first and second level university degrees in the fields of design, fashion design, graphics and communication, multimedia arts, new technologies, set design, visual arts, as well as PhD and Special Programmes. The Academy was founded by Ausonio Zappa in Milan in 1980 with the involvement of Guido Ballo and Tito Varisco during a first phase, later attracting to its faculty artists such as Gianni Colombo and many others, the idea being to abandon rigorous academic traditions and instead introduce new visions and languages based on contemporary artistic and professional practice. NABA was selected by Frame to be included in the Masterclass Frame Guide to the 30 World's Leading Graduate Design, Architecture and Fashion Schools, and by Domus Magazine as one of Europe's Top 100 schools of Architecture and Design.

Regula's Technologies Hit the Fashion Show at Intergraf Currency+Identity in Milan
RESTON, Va., March 12, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regula, a global developer of forensic devices and identity verification solutions, brought document verification to the catwalk at the annual Intergraf Currency+Identity conference. Regula's molded lenses, magnifiers, and optical filter turrets became key design elements in a fashion show featuring iconic Milanese characters: the office worker, the curious tourist, the street performer, and the child eating gelato. The Intergraf Currency+Identity conference connects technology developers with a range of institutional organizations, such as security printing companies, central banks, and law enforcement agencies from all over the world. Responding to the rising need for robust document verification solutions, Regula presented various devices, from compact magnifiers to full-scale video spectral comparators. While small devices provide high-quality magnification of IDs' and banknotes' security features to examine their authenticity, advanced equipment (such as the High-Resolution Photospectral Scanner Regula 88XX) allows for the most detailed inspection of all sorts of documents, as well as collectibles and art objects. Sharing its passion for art and creativity, Regula was honored to contribute to the fashion defilé held on the opening day of Intergraf Currency+Identity. The conference organizers partnered with NABA (Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti), an art and design academy in Milan, to launch a creative project titled "A Pocket Full of Milan." Within this project, young designers developed several fashion outfits representing typical street characters of the city, such as an office worker, a policeman, a fashionista, a commuter, and a tourist. The icing on the cake: the central character of this lineup was a pickpocket who stole costume parts from other characters while they were walking the catwalk, and ended up as the most dressed-up one. To create two of these outfits, NABA's students chose the spare parts that Regula uses to manufacture its devices. For example, Regula's in-house molded lenses (generally used to enable the anti-Stokes effect for examining document security features) became suit embellishments of the costume of a true Milanese office worker, or Office Siren, as it was called by the creators. Additionally, magnifiers that were provided by Regula turned out to be a handy tool for a tourist perusing a city map. Finally, optical filter turrets that are used in Regula's video spectral comparators to create the right light source for precise document examination appeared as vibrant outfit accessories for two more Milanese characters: the street performer and the child eating gelato. "At Regula, we believe technology and creativity go hand in hand. Developing new technologies is always a creative process—it requires imagination, experimentation, and a willingness to see possibilities beyond the obvious. That's why we were especially excited to support the artists at the Intergraf Currency+Identity fashion show. Just as we push the boundaries of forensic technology to develop innovative identity verification solutions, artists push creative boundaries to bring new ideas to life. Seeing our precision-engineered components transformed into fashion pieces was a perfect reflection of this shared spirit of innovation. It was an honor to be part of an event that celebrates both technical excellence and artistic expression," says Alex Lewanowicz, Director of Hardware Engineering at Regula.

Veteran US boxer Carson Jones dies aged 38
American boxer Carson Jones, who twice fought Britain's Kell Brook in a long and successful career, has died aged 38. Jones, who won 44 of his 65 professional fights, was a champion at USBA welterweight, NABA light-middleweight, WBC Continental Americas light-middleweight and NABA USA light-middleweight. He reached No 4 in the world in the IBF's welterweight rankings. He stepped away from the ring in 2023, and recently suffered complications from surgery on his oesophagus. A week ago the former IBF super middleweight world champion Caleb Truax posted on X: 'Boxing community: We need some prayers for former world title challenger Carson Jones. He had complications during a surgical procedure and my friend can use all the good vibes he can get.' Truax then posted on Saturday: 'Rest in paradise to my man. #boxing lost a good one, too early.' Jones narrowly lost to Brook, the former welterweight world champion, on points at Sheffield Arena in 2012, but fought gamely and earned a draw from one of the judges. He then lost by stoppage in their rematch a year later in Hull, getting counted out in the eighth round after being knocked down in the second. Referee Mark Lyson posted: 'Very sad to hear the news about the passing of Carson Jones at just 38. RIP Champ.'
