Venice is also a modern town. It is the main city of the Veneto Region, in Northeast Italy, and has a total population of about 270,000 inhabitants: about 60,000 in the historic centre; 180,000 in the mainland, mostly in Mestre and Marghera; 30,000 in the other islands of the lagoon.

Ca’ Foscari PalaceCa’ Foscari Palace

The main seat of the University is Ca’ Foscari Palace, the Venetian-Gothic building placed in the largest bend of the Grand Canal. The palace was purchased and renewed by Doge Francesco Foscari in 1452.

It contains important artistic and architectural works, such as a room with a 16th century stucco work by the Venetian sculptor Alessandro Vittoria (1525-1608) and a great hall designed by the Venetian architect Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978), with two murals by Mario Sironi and Mario de Luigi.

Between 2004 and 2006 Ca' Foscari underwent a painstaking restoration programme, which was awarded the prestigious “Premio Torta” in 2007.It is possible to visit the palace with the Ca’ Foscari Tour Service (www.unive.it/tour).

Established on August 6th 1868 as a Royal Business College, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice was the first educational institution in Italy to offer higher education in business and economics.

Nowadays Ca’ Foscari offers 4 main subject areas of teaching and research activities (Economics, Humanities, Languages and Sciences) and it is the 2nd Italian university in the 2010 ranking of the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR), scoring 20,1% more than the year before.

Ca’ Foscari actively participates in the city cultural life, organizing over 400 events every year, collaborating with other prestigious cultural institutions and organizing successful art exhibitions at “Ca’ Foscari Esposizioni”, the exhibition space in the main building.
