Between the 19th and 20th centuries, the architecture competitions at the Brera Academy constitute an interesting subject of study to investigate the relationship between the Academy and the city of Milan. They often overcame the mere didactic exercises and became ideal laboratories on the design of the city. During Napoleonic Age, the ‘great competitions’ verified if there were «public works to be carried out belonging to the Fine Arts», and in the post-unification era, the Canonica and Vittadini competitions aspired to realize good urban projects as well. The Brera’s competitions concerned urban equipment for the modernization of the city or hypothesized interventions on existing buildings in relation to the transformations of the central areas, often in parallel with the initiatives promoted by the municipal Administration.
