The Collegio Ludovicianum will be temporarily housed in the Residenza Buonarroti from the academic year 2023/2024 onwards, due to building redevelopment work
Presentation
The Collegio Ludovicianum owes its name to Ludovico Necchi, a central figure in the history of the Catholic University, co-founder of the same with Agostino Gemelli.
Initially conceived to host young priests and clerics studying at the University, its historical seat, located at 5 Via Necchi, was solemnly inaugurated on 8 December 1934. Closed in the early 1970s, in 1992 – on the initiative of Rector Adriano Bausola – the Ludovicianum reopened its doors in Via Osimo 10 (Porto di Mare district). In 2001, the College moved to its new premises in via San Vittore 35, a completely renovated building located near the Basilica of Sant’Ambrogio in the heart of Milan’s historic city centre. Temporarily, the premises have now been moved to the Residenza Buonarroti, Piazza Buonarroti 30.
Every year, the Ludovicianum offers its students cultural initiatives , opportunities for socialising and festivities. With a view to fostering the interdisciplinary nature of knowledge and listening to different sensibilities, the Ludovicianum ‘sEducational Project initiatives are organised along three main lines
- cultural deepening
- the development of transversal skills
- service to society
Alongside the proposal of activities organised directly by the Directorate and the students, there are also initiatives with a marked inter-collegiate vocation such as, for example, higher education courses, language courses, and trips abroad, realised thanks to the support of the University, the Giuseppe Toniolo Institute for Higher Studies and the EDUCatt Foundation. Every year, in August, the College’s Mission Statement is published, a document summarising the activities carried out during the previous academic year.
