Distrutto da un incendio nel 1749, era stato ricostruito dall’architetto Girolamo Dal Pozzo secondo il di­segno originario e riaperto nel 1754. Aveva subito ulteriori restauri nel 1852 e nel 1929. Un bombardamento lo ha quasi completamente distrutto nel feb­braio del 1945. Attualmente è in avanzata fase di ricostruzione su progetto dell’ar­chitetto Vittorio Filippini. Appar­tiene all’omonima Accademia. @it
