University of Milano-Bicocca
The University of
Milano-Bicocca was established on June 10, 1998, to serve students from
Northern Italy and relieve some of the pressure on the over-crowded University
of Milan. Groups of professors and researchers chose to come and participate in
the enterprise. They were driven by their enthusiasm for the new, and by the
chance to broaden academic horizons without having their work undermined by
traditional methods of education. From the start, this very fertile climate
became a unique training ground, which offered something new even in the most
traditional disciplines.
The
University stands in an area on the northern edge of Milan, which was occupied
by the Pirelli industrial complex until the late
1980s. This area is now the location of the biggest urban renewal project
carried out in Milan since the end of the Second World War. The world-renowned
architect, Vittorio Gregotti has transformed the ex-industrial area
and its warehouses into a new district, which includes our Athenaeum,
research laboratories and student residence halls; Hangar
Bicocca, the contemporary art museum; the Italian National
Research Council(CNR), multinational company offices and the
new headquarters of the Pirelli Group.
The name
Bicocca derives from the historic Villa Bicocca degli Arcimboldi (located at
no. 202, Viale Sarca), a mid-15th century rural residence of the
Arcimboldi family, which now belongs to a financial holding company. In the
heart of the Bicocca neighborhood, University buildings are characterized by
red walls and white window shutters: the main complex facing the squares Piazza
dell’Ateneo Nuovo and Piazza della Scienza was developed from two pre-existing
Pirelli warehouses.
In this
cityscape the University of Milano—Bicocca arose and hundreds of lecturers
have contributed their talents and brought international networks and research
groups. This synergy makes the University a laboratory where tradition and
modernity are combined to ensure an innovative future.
