ABOUT
CA’ FOSCARI UNIVERSITY
CA’ FOSCARI UNIVERSITY
Founded in 1868 as Italy's first business school, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice was established by a group of intellectuals led by Luigi Luzzatti to train tradesmen and economics teachers. From its inception, the institution distinguished itself by requiring the study of both Western and Eastern languages, a multidisciplinary approach that laid the groundwork for its future as a premier center for international studies.
Over the following century, the school evolved from a specialized commercial institute into a comprehensive governmental university. It achieved several milestones, including the founding of Italy's first Faculty of Foreign Languages in 1954 and its official transition to a fully-fledged university in 1968. By 1970, the addition of the Humanities and Sciences faculties solidified its status as a diverse and leading public research institution.
