Homecoming: Coming Together, Giving Back and Building

It has already been a year since the Bocconi Campus welcomed thousands of Alumni, students, faculty and friends for its first Homecoming, held from 16 to 18 October 2025: a return “home” centered on sharing, remembrance and impact.

It was against this backdrop that the “Back Home. Impact the Future” fundraising campaign was launched, channeling the energy of the weekend into concrete support for students, helping to fund tuition waivers and opportunities for access to education: over €30,000 was raised thanks to more than 800 donations. The event also provided an opportunity for those who support the University and those who represent its future to come together, fostering dialogue between Donors, Alumni and students through the exchange of experiences and perspectives.

The program featured several high-profile events. Gianmario Verona (Invernizzi Chair in Innovation Management) and Alumni and Donors Diego Piacentini and Vittorio Colao debated the topic of artificial intelligence. During the same days, Stefano Caselli (Algebris Chair in Long-Term Investment and Absolute Return) and Donor Claudio Costamagna discussed the dynamics of banking risk while Annalisa Prencipe (KPMG Chair in Accounting) offered a reflection on the future of the CFO’s role.
