Many prominent artists, designers and architects of the twentieth century have studied here, including Giuseppe De Fabris, Domenico Induno, Emilio Gola, Carlo Fornara, Angelo Morbelli, Enrico Reycent, Achille Funi, Carlo Carrà and Marino Marini; contemporary artists who have studied here are Vannessa Beecroft, Mario Airò, Marcello Maloberti, Lara Favaretto, Patrick Tuttofuoco and Alberto Garutti, a teacher for several generations of artists.

The Brera Academy of Fine Arts is also tied to important Italian designers from the twentieth century, such as Carlo Bugatti, Osvaldo Borsani, Achille Castiglioni, Joe Colombo, Pietro Chiesa, Enzo Mari, Claudio Vender, Mario Asnago and Massimo Vignelli as well as contemporary artists of such calibre as Gianni Caravaggio, Roberto Cuoghi, Giuseppe Gabellone, Petrit Halilaj, Liliana Moro, Paola Pivi and Bernhard Rüdiger.

Today, the Brera Academy of Fine Arts is a point of reference for the schooling of young artists as the most established and prestigious public fine arts university in Milan.
