The story behind the answer

What is the name of Prada's art foundation established in 1993? The answer is Fondazione Prada.

Fondazione Prada was created in Milan in 1993 by Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli. It began as a cultural initiative supporting contemporary art and gradually expanded into a multidisciplinary institution covering exhibitions, architecture, cinema, photography, philosophy, and performance.

Before opening its permanent Milan complex, the foundation presented exhibitions in spaces on Via Spartaco and Via Fogazzaro. From 1993 to 2010, it organized 24 solo exhibitions there, featuring artists including Anish Kapoor, Louise Bourgeois, Dan Flavin, and Steve McQueen.

Its major Milan venue opened in Largo Isarco on 9 May 2015. Designed by OMA, led by Rem Koolhaas, the complex transformed a former 1910s distillery into galleries and public spaces. A common mix-up is calling it simply the “Prada Foundation”; Fondazione Prada is the institution’s official name, while Prada is the fashion company behind it.
