Torriana

Torriana, with its headquarters and its network of apartments, is located in the city centre, close to Università Cattolica and well connected to Politecnico di Milano (Leonardo and Bovisa). A point of reference for the Milanese university reality, it welcomes – in addition to residents – many students who attend the various training activities.

With a personalized educational program, Torriana helps university students to deepen and integrate the teaching offered by university faculties with those soft skills which are increasingly requested by employers.

Direction Team

Torriana is led by professionals in the educational field, who, alongside their profession, trail a specific training by experiencing the educational offer firsthand. Each year the members of the direction attend language courses, refresher training as well as methodological and relational enrichment.

The personal relationship that develops between direction and students is one of the many strengths of life at Torriana; it is a relationship built on listening and openness, to calmly face the challenges and embrace increasingly ambitious goals.

"Torriana means family to me. It tought me the courage and strength that arise from the awareness of the values that belong to us and that define us, a force capable of opposing any external conditioning, a lesson for life."

Beatrice Venezi

"At Torriana  I found a family far from home. During my 5 years of university the residents and the direction accompanied me through joys and pains always with a lot of warmth. By also organizing educational projects parallel to the university, the residence represents an opportunity for personal and professional growth. "

“The months I spent in Torriana have taught me to sincerely take care of myself, of the people and objects that surround me. I learned to dwell on both practical and abstract aspects of everyday life and I found the means to draw important lessons from them. "

Student of Mathematics @Università degli Studi di Milano

"I arrived in Torriana a little by chance, but I stayed throughout my university career because I found much more than a home. Coexistence, activities, empowerment taught me a lot. But above all I found many people who, with their daily example, have infused me with some of their wisdom and have often been an anchor for me.

Research fellow @POLIMI

"At Torriana the hospitality and the loving details of everyone warmed my heart like the tropical sun that, from time to time, I missed. And the affection I received encouraged me to be more tender with all the girls who lived with me as well. I will carry this great learning of coexistence for a lifetime!

“Life at Torriana means being part of a stimulating, educational and above all family environment. During my stay in Torriana I found a home where to share my experiences with others, finding help and support. If I went back, I would choose it a thousand more times.”

Residence Stories

The atmosphere that reigns in Torriana is that of a typical welcoming home that is always open, where everyone cares for each other and works together for the good of all.

Life in the Residence is marked by commitment to daily practice, but is enriched by moments of fun, shared experiences, cultural studies and sports, that must be part of a young and university environment.

Like in a family, every resident is called to take on small tasks to develop human skills of relational nature with responsibility and reliability to build a wealth of essential experiences for the student’s personal and professional growth.

Attention to detail

At Torriana we take care of every detail to make residents feel at home. Specialized teams attend housekeeping, cooking, cleaning and laundry services, to ensure that the residence is always kept clean and welcoming even for the students of the apartments.

This atmosphere makes possible for the residents to develop greater attention for all domestic and personal care activities as described in the educational program.

A suitable place where the anniversaries of each resident are carefully celebrated also thanks to the atmosphere of friendship and sharing made possible by the residential life.
