Before coming to Italy
Brief History of UCSC
Europe’s largest Catholic University was founded by Father Agostino Gemelli,
together with a group of Catholic intellectuals (Ludovico Necchi, Francesco Olgiati,
Armida Barelli and Ernesto Lombardo).
The Giuseppe Toniolo Institute for Advanced Studies was set up in 1920 and was
the founding entity of Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore. The official inauguration
took place in Milan at the end of 1921, in the presence of Cardinal Achille Ratti,
Archbishop of Milan and the future Pope Pius XI, and the university gained official
state recognition as an independent university in 1924.
In 1928 Father Gemelli purchased the historic Saint Ambrose Monastery, located
in the centre of Milan, which was then inaugurated as the seat of the University
on 30th October 1932. The architect Giovanni Muzio was then commissioned by
Father Gemelli to undertake the restoration and renovation of the original structure
and the addition of new buildings.
The Piacenza Campus was built after World War II and was opened at the
beginning of the 1952-1953 academic year. The Agostino Gemelli General
Hospital in Rome was inaugurated in 1964 as part of the Faculty of Medicine and
Surgical Medicine. The Brescia campus was opened in 1965 and the Centre for
High Technology Research and Education in Biomedical Sciences was opened in
2002 in Campobasso.
Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Piacenza-Cremona Campus offers 3 faculties
to study in:
- School of Business and Law
- Agriculture
- Educational Sciences.
Hosting a total of 2500 students (with around 270 faculty members and 130 staff
members) the campus open the students’ view on two peculiar realities: Piacenza,
the crossroads of cities and cultures, and Cremona, the violin city.
Providing many green spot areas and efficient administrative work, computer labs
and recreational activities, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Piacenza-Cremona
campus is the best option for students who want to pursue a quiet, hardworking
and culturally inspired experience.
Situated at the heart of the Po Valley, in the lush and fertile region of Emilia- Romagna,
Piacenza is only 65 km away from Milan and 150 km from Bologna. It lies on the
border between Lombardy and Piedmont, two of the most industrialized regions
in the north, at a crucial crossroads for road and rail transport, both national and
international. Thanks to its easy access from both the south and the north of the
country, Piacenza has always been an important centre for commerce and transport.
In fact, it is considered the gateway to all important surrounding cities of Northern
4
Italy, including Milan, Parma or Bologna. Moreover, Piacenza is one of the cities of art
of the region Emilia-Romagna, with its palaces, churches and museums. Both in the city
center and around the province you will have the opportunity to enjoy the pleasure of
Italian cuisine, thanks to the long and refined culinary tradition of Piacenza.
The value added of Piacenza and Cremona is the relationship between students
and professors, who are careful and always stimulate their pupils to achieve higher
goals, showing competitiveness and ambition for a wonderful array of future job
opportunities.
