FONDAZIONE MAZZINI has been present in the territory of Cinisello Balsamo since the first postwar period as a design school; it was then formally constituted as ASSOCIATION in 1974, acquiring legal personality by the Regional Committee Resolution on 7th February 1990.

It was in 1912 when the first core was founded: a school of professional design, “under the high patronage of the municipality”, but it was not before the second postwar period that a better defined organization took shape, thanks to a stronger support of the municipal administration and of local philanthropic entrepreneurs.
