A Special Campus Tour on Valentine’s Day

It was a truly special Campus Tour organized on the occasion of Valentine’s Day. The event was designed to guide participants in discovering some of the most iconic spaces of Bocconi University, along a route offering a privileged glimpse into places that tell the story, values, and evolution of the institution.

The tour included an exclusive visit to the Historical Archives, the custodian of Bocconi’s memory, presented for the occasion with a romantic touch and a special focus on Ettore Bocconi and Donna Javotte, symbols of the University’s origins and founding spirit. The stop at Via Sarfatti 25 celebrated the University’s philanthropic tradition through a visit to its first Donor Wall, a tangible testament to the support and generosity that, over time, have contributed to the growth and development of the Bocconi community. The tour continued with the opportunity to admire the sports facilities of the new Campus, reflecting the University’s commitment to student well-being and quality of life, in a continuous dialogue between tradition and innovation.

Through this Campus Tour, the 50 donors in attendance were able to discover - or rediscover - the places, stories, and key figures that have shaped the Campus, enriched by anecdotes, insights, and architecture that make Bocconi one of the beating hearts of Milan. A narrative capable of weaving together past and present, looking confidently toward the future.

The experience concluded with a convivial gathering, providing an opportunity to continue sharing ideas, memories, and relationships that keep our community vibrant and united.
