Valore Italia is a dynamic and interdisciplinary, innovative and experimental place, where it is possible to study the new methodologies to be applied to the restoration, conservation and enhancement of the Cultural Heritage, useful for training future restorers and experts who will have to take on the task of this protection.
The first area of intervention is training: the beating heart is the Botticino School of Restoration.
The Botticino School of Restoration was founded in 1974 as a regional school and was, along with the ICR (Central Institute for Restoration) of Rome and OPD (Opificio delle Pietre Dure) of Florence, one of the first schools for restoration at a national level. Following the regulatory changes, it is now recognised by the MIUR and MIC Ministries for the provision of a Master’s Degree course in Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage.
From the 2022 academic year, the Botticino School will have a new headquarters in Milan, the perfect place to expand the scope of action, in addition to traditional restoration subjects, to new areas of contemporary, design and craftsmanship. The Botticino School of Restoration will have its headquarters in a building in the new complex of MIND (Milan Innovation District), the district of Science, Knowledge and Innovation that occupies the Expo Area.
The innovative workshops of the Botticino School are located in the building in via Cosenz 54, a strategic location in the Bovisa Design District, the Milanese district dedicated to innovation, technology and creativity.
