As of the academic year 2023/2024, the Collegio Ludovicianum will be temporarily housed, due to building redevelopment, at the Buonarroti Residence
Presentation
The College Ludovicianum owes its name to Ludovico Necchi, a central figure in the history of the Catholic University, co-founder of it together with Agostino Gemelli.
Initially conceived to host young priests and clerics studying at the University, its historical seat, located in via Necchi 5, 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 was transferred in the new premises at 35 Via San Vittore, a completely refurbished building located close to the Basilica of Sant'Ambrogio in the historic city centre of Milan. Temporarily, the office has now been moved to the Residenza Buonarroti, Piazza Buonarroti 30.
Every year the Ludovicianum offers its students initiatives of cultural deepening, opportunities for socialising and celebration. With a view to fostering interdisciplinary knowledge and listening to different sensitivities, the initiatives of the Training Project of the Ludovicianum are declined along three main lines:
- cultural deepening
- the development of transversal competences
- service to society
Alongside the proposal of activities organised directly by the Directorate and the students, there are also initiatives with a distinct inter-collegiate vocation such as, for example, higher education courses, language courses, and trips abroad, which are realised thanks to the support of the University, the Giuseppe Toniolo Institute for Advanced Studies and the EDUCatt Foundation. Every year, in August, the Mission Statement of the College, a document summarising the activities carried out during the previous academic year.
