The Accademia was founded in 1784 with the aim of creating a modern institute for teaching the arts capable of providing concrete answers to the new needs of the applied arts.

Courses arose in painting, sculpture, architecture, grotesque (i.e., decoration), and copperplate carving (i.e., engraving).

Today, the Accademia is aligned with the university curriculum following the distinction between first and second level degrees.
