The School of Restoration was set up in 1997 with the aim of offering specialized training in the restoration, maintenance and conservation of contemporary works of art. In 2008 the School was named after Camillo Boito, a renowned architect, teacher and intellectual who taught Architecture at the Accademia and was responsible for some truly exemplary restorations of his time and he drew up the inaugural Charter of Restoration in 1883. The stables of Villa Borromeo made 1,200 square meters available for the school’s teaching and workshop activities, following the ministerial accreditation for the five year teaching of the School in January 2013
