The history of the Palace that today houses the famous Academy of Fine Arts and the Brera Art Gallery<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Today’s Via Brera in medieval times was nothing more than fields and meadows, in what was once called ‘Braida’ from which the name Brera derives. We were therefore outside the city walls.
On 7 November 1178, a plot of land measuring 12 perches and eight planks, located in the braida, was purchased for some religious monks who intended to live there, the Umiliati.
The monastery of Brera was the mother house of the order and was flanked by the church of Santa Maria in Brera, of which no traces remain today as it was incorporated into the building that exists today.
The religious order was abolished and then abandoned the building in 1571 with the papal bull of Pope Pius V.
The building was then given to the Jesuits for the construction of an educational institution, the College of the Society of Jesus.\u00a0
Undoubtedly, a larger building was needed and the work was entrusted to the architect Martino Bassi, but he died in the same year as the work began (1591) and consequently slowed down.
Then in 1615 Francesco Maria Richini, a very famous architect of the time, was entrusted with the work.
However, his project was not approved until 1651.
In 1773, the Society of Jesus was suppressed and the building, still unfinished, was reallocated by the Austrian government, Maria Theresa of Austria, to the Palace of Sciences and Arts.
The work was completed by Giuseppe Piermarini between 1778 and 1795.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to housing the Palatine Schools, other institutions such as:
. The Brera Library that was founded thanks to the union of the Brera and San Fedele libraries, to which other donations were added.
. The garden, formerly belonging to the Jesuits, which was transformed into a botanical garden in 1774.
. The Academy of Fine Arts that was founded in 1776, endowing it with an annual contribution of 10,000 lire from suppressed ecclesiastical property.
. A public clock was also built in 1786 to serve as a reference for the other clocks in Milan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The institutions continued to grow in the 19th century during the Napoleonic era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1810 it was moved to Milan to the Brera Palace under the name of the Institute of Sciences National Institute, Letters and Arts (founded in Bologna in 1802). 
In 1838 it was split into the Imperial Regio Istituto Lombardo di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti and the Istituto veneto.
In 1882 came the Brera Art Gallery under the direction of Giuseppe Bertini.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"raw":"\n\n\n

L\u2019attuale via Brera in epoca medievale non era altro che campi e prati, in quella che appunto un tempo veniva chiamata \u201cBraida\u201d da cui deriva il nome Brera. Ci trovavamo quindi fuori dalle mura della citt\u00e0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il 7 novembre 1178 un terreno di 12 pertiche e otto tavole, posto nella braida venne acquistato per alcuni religiosi che intendevano viverci, gli Umiliati.
Il monastero di Brera costituiva la casa madre dell'ordine ed era affiancato dalla chiesa di Santa Maria in Brera, di cui non sono rimaste tracce oggigiorno in quanto fu inglobata nell\u2019edificio oggi esistente.
L\u2019ordine religioso fu abolito e abbandon\u00f2 quindi l\u2019edificio nel 1571 con la bolla pontificia di papa Pio V.
L\u2019edificio fu quindi ceduto ai Gesuiti per la realizzazione di un'istituzione a scopo d'istruzione, il Collegio della compagnia di Ges\u00f9. 
Indubbiamente serviva un edificio pi\u00f9 grande ed i lavori vennero affidati all\u2019architetto Martino Bassi che per\u00f2 mor\u00ec lo stesso anno dell\u2019inizio dei lavori (1591) che di conseguenza rallentarono.
Successivamente nel 1615 Francesco Maria Richini, architetto molto famoso dell\u2019epoca, fu incaricato dei lavori.
Il suo progetto fu per\u00f2 approvato solo nel 1651.
Nel 1773 venne soppressa la Compagnia di Ges\u00f9 e l\u2019edificio, ancora incompiuto, venne nuovamente riallocato dal governo austriaco, Maria Teresa d\u2019Austria, a Palazzo delle Scienze e delle Arti.
I lavori vennero portati a termine da Giuseppe Piermarini tra il 1778 ed il 1795.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oltre ad essere sede delle Scuole Palatine vi trovarono casa anche altre istituzioni come:
. La biblioteca di Brera che venne fondata grazie all'unione delle biblioteche di Brera e di San Fedele a cui si aggiunsero altre donazioni.
. L'orto, gi\u00e0 dei Gesuiti, dal 1774 che fu trasformato in orto botanico.
. L'Accademia di belle arti che venne fondata nel 1776, dotandola di un contributo annuo di 10.000 lire provenienti dai soppressi beni ecclesiastici.
. Nel 1786 venne inoltre realizzato un orologio pubblico che doveva servire di riferimento agli altri orologi milanesi.

Le istituzioni continuarono a crescere anche nell\u2019800 in et\u00e0 Napoleonica.

Nel 1810 venne trasferito a Milano nel palazzo di Brera con il nome di Istituto di scienze Istituto nazionale, lettere ed arti (fondato a Bologna nel 1802). 
Nel 1838 venne suddiviso in Imperial Regio Istituto Lombardo di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti e Istituto veneto.
Nel 1882 arriv\u00f2 la Pinacoteca di Brera sotto la direzione di Giuseppe Bertini.<\/p>\n","_it_post_name":"palazzo-brera","_it_post_excerpt":"","_it_post_title":"Palazzo Brera","_en_post_content":"\n\n\n
