25 Years of Peschiere

Peschiere in an ancient noble villa in the heart of Albaro, a residential district of Genoa. The mansion is surrounded by a spacious garden and for almost thirty years it has hosted 25 off-site students in a familiar and welcoming environment, ideal for living in university years.

With its personalized training project Peschiere helps university students to deepen and integrate the teachings offered by university faculties with “soft skills” that are increasingly in demand in the world of work.

Direction Team

Peschiere is led by professionals in the educational field. Their training is in continuous development; each year the members of the direction conduct refresher training and methodological enrichment.

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

"Familiar environment, deep friendships that arise and remain solid forever, the opportunity to broaden the horizon getting in touch with different realities. This was living in the residence: a perfect experience of growth."

"At Peschiere I found a dynamic and challenging environment, that enriched my university experience with lots of interesting extracurricular activities. But the most important things were the friendships, that incredibly helped me in my personal and professional growth."

Cristiano Visciotti

"Peschiere has been my second family, in which I perfectionate my human and academic growth thanks to the extracurricular courses and the cultural encounters. And even today the residence is a place in which I always come back to reflect about myself and think of the future"

"Living in Peschiere is the best occasion for a University student, not only because of the fantastic challenging environment, that pushes you to get the best academic results, but also for the extracurricular courses. This is the perfect mix to help the students to be really compliant with the competitive current work world. Moreover, the big plus of the Hall of Residence consists in the international environment, that permise you to know fantastic people from over the world and on the other side in the family atmosphere: in Peschiere you always feel at home."

Mehadi Pranta

Studente e residente

"Peschiere welcomed me and very soon it became for university year "my home" and an important reference point after the degree. It has always been much more than a place to live. It is the place where I built strong friendships and relations. The possibility to live with students from other disciplines and from other cities, in some case also from other countries, has allowed me to broaden my horizons and grow in many aspects. Part of who I am now depends by my residence experience."

Residence Stories

The atmosphere that reigns in Peschiere 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 on to take on small tasks to form a strong sense of responsibility and accountability, and to develop human skills both of relational and managerial nature. This approach will provide a wealth of essential experiences for the student’s personal and professional growth.
