About us

Delle Peschiere is a men’s Hall of Residence in Genoa, established in 1996. Located in the heart of the Albaro district, it is an elegant historic villa surrounded by greenery. Officially recognized by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR) as a College of Merit,

Delle Peschiere offers a welcoming, family-like environment where students can experience their university years in a serene atmosphere, build lasting friendships, and benefit from many opportunities for personal growth. It hosts 20 out-of-town students.

Living at Delle Peschiere means becoming part of a close-knit community that shares study and leisure moments, supported by an attentive direction team and a staff that ensures careful management and full board service. Each student follows a personalized educational program, including cultural activities, soft-skill development, meetings with professionals, and initiatives to strengthen his competencies.

Like all residences of RUI Foundation, Delle Peschiere is inspired by the message of Saint Josemaría Escrivá, founder of Opus Dei. In addition to academic and community life, it offers a Christian environment where faith and culture engage in dialogue. Those who wish may freely receive spiritual formation.

Thanks to RUI Foundation’s national and international network, students can benefit from exchanges, experiences abroad, and lasting friendships. The hall of residence thus becomes an experience oriented toward the future: a place to grow, cultivate one’s talents, and build a solid foundation for adult life.

Founded in Rome on May 6th, 1959 and recognized as an institution with a legal decree n. 932 by the President of the Italian Republic on September 16th, 1959, RUI Foundation promotes its educational work autonomously, in collaboration with governments and national and international bodies, such as the Council of Europe and the European Commission. Rui Foundation is member of the CCUM Conference of University Colleges of Merit, which is legally recognized by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research.

Like all RUI Foundation residences, Peschiere also draws inspiration from the teachings of St. Josemaría Escrivá, founder of Opus Dei, a personal prelature of the Catholic Church.

The spirit of Opus Dei manifests itself in the life at the Residence, promoting an atmosphere of coexistence with others based on respect and love for freedom, solidarity, optimism; activities revolving around spiritual formation and Christian doctrine are offered to students, who can freely choose whether to participate.
