LIUC isn’t just a place to study; it’s a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in history and culture. Established in 1991 by the Industrial Union of the Province of Varese, LIUC is housed in the beautifully restored Cantoni cotton mill in Castellanza.
This campus, designed by the legendary Italian architect Aldo Rossi, perfectly blends the past and present. Rossi, a Pritzker Prize winner, preserved the mill’s original industrial and Art Nouveau architecture, creating a vibrant environment where history and innovation coexist. Studying at LIUC means being part of a rich cultural heritage while preparing for a future full of opportunities.
