BRIEF HISTORY OF CATTOLICA
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, 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 main building 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 Surgery. The Brescia campus was opened in 1965 and in 1984 the first
lectures were delivered in Cremona.
Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Piacenza-Cremona Campus is home to 3
Schools:
■ Economics and Law
■ Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences
■ Educational Sciences.
Enrolling a total of 3000 students (with around 270 faculty members and 130
staff members) the campus offers two distinct realities: Piacenza, the crossroads
of cities and cultures, and Cremona, the violin city.
5 INDEX
Providing many green areas and efficient administration, 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 an important logistic hub 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
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 added value of Piacenza and Cremona is the relationship between students
and professors, which stimulates students to pursue higher goals, showing
competitiveness and ambition for a wonderful array of future job opportunities.
