“The best way to study history is to stand inside it.”✨

First-year Master’s students who chose the World Cultures and Heritage Major at the Ca’ Foscari International College took their learning directly into the heart of Venice for Prof. Calvelli’s course, “World Cultural Heritage: Venice and Beyond”.

Guided by Prof. Calvelli alongside special guest Prof. Donal Cooper (University of Cambridge), the group enjoyed an exclusive site visit to two monumental pillars of Venetian heritage: Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari and Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo.

By selecting this Major, students engage in hands-on discovery and guided field trips across Venice, turning academic learning into real-world connection with global heritage.

Yesterday, we celebrated the Closing 𝗖𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱/𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿. A special moment to say goodbye to those leaving for study periods abroad, those preparing to "spread their wings" after finishing their journey, and those who will return in September full of energy.

Swipe through the gallery to relive the best moments of the event, including the inspiring lectio by 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗶, words from our students 𝗢𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿 𝗦𝗳𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶 and 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗮 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮, and our traditional "𝘾𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙖 𝙙𝙚𝙞 𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙜𝙡𝙞" (the Fan Ceremony — which proved more useful than ever yesterday! ☀️).

🎓 𝗔.𝗬. 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱/𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘆: 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗶

The journey of the Collegio Internazionale Ca’ Foscari for this academic year is reaching its most significant milestone. The Closing Ceremony is not just a rite of passage; it is a celebration of the commitment and growth of our community of collegians.

Each year, we invite a prominent cultural figure who embodies the College's core values ​​to inspire our students with their own journey.

For this special occasion, we are honored to host a leading figure in Italian culture: Beatrice Masini, acclaimed writer, journalist, and translator.

She has been head of Bompiani from 2016. She writes novels and short stories for children and adults.

Through her pen and linguistic sensitivity, the Italian translation of one of the world's most iconic literary sagas was born: Harry Potter. Her work beautifully demonstrates that translation is not merely a technical skill, but a true art form, a means of cultural mediation, and a visionary craft "...𝘪𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴: 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮 𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩, 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘵, 𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵. 𝘐𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘺 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘦 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘪𝘵𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵."

Her journey perfectly embodies the core values we foster every day at the Collegio: interdisciplinarity, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to connect different worlds through knowledge.
