Luca Mignini: Transformation, Gratitude, and the Future

My time at the Bocconi Residence Hall was a significant period in my life, during which I shared extraordinary human experiences and formed lasting friendships. That’s why I chose to honor it with a concrete gesture, while also supporting the students of today and tomorrow – _{Luca Mignini, Business Administration, 1986}

Former executive at Campbell's and now a Professor of Innovation and Management at Bocconi, Luca Mignini describes his experience at one of the Bocconi residences as transformational, radically changing his way of living and influencing his whole life. At Bocconi Residence, he met students from different backgrounds and came to appreciate the impact of scholarships, forging strong and lasting bonds. The sense of belonging to his Alma Mater drove him to express all his gratitude to the people, family or otherwise, who have been key points of reference in his life. He did this by naming three spaces in the Bocconi Residence in via Bocconi 12, dedicating named Scholarships in memoriam and supporting the Bocconi in Opera project. Today, as a professor, Luca helps young people to learn by sharing his on-the-ground experience, in a virtual passing of the baton from one generation to the next. Because, as he says, helping worthy people to grow, investing in the future, is humanly more important than mere support.
