Fondazione Luigi Einaudi
Via Principe Amedeo 34 - 10123 Torino
Established in 1964 with the donation of Luigi Einaudi’s collection, nowadays the Foundation represents a landmark for social sciences.
The Einaudi Foundation was created thanks to the passion for knowledge of the Einaudi family. Through their gesture they wanted to make the historical and cultural heritage contained in the library accessible. A gesture that aims to keep alive Luigi Einaudi’s values and principles of cultural freedom and thought. Since July 1970 the Foundation has been based in the historic Palazzo d’Azeglio in the centre of Turin, courtesy of Fiat, which owned it.
Over the years, the continuous growth of the library and the archive, together with the support given to young scholars through the scholarships, the promotion of publications and the organization of seminars and conferences have allowed the Foundation to fulfill its mission, making knowledge increasingly more accessible.

Università di Torino at a glance
The University of Turin is one of the most ancient and prestigious Italian Universities.
Hosting almost 80.000 students (a.y. 2021-2022) and with 120 buildings in different areas in Turin and in key places in Piedmont, the University of Turin can be considered as “city-within-a-city”, promoting culture and producing research, innovation, training and employment.
The University of Turin is today one of the largest Italian Universities, open to international research and training. It carries out scientific research and organizes courses in all disciplines, except for Engineering and Architecture. It is an integral part of the community, acting for reviving urban and suburban areas, promoting cultural interaction, social integration and development, encouraging dialogue and insight into current realities.
The University of Turin virtually covers every field of knowledge; its Medical Diagnostic, Biosensoristics and Nanotechnologies research centers are amongst the best ones in Italy.
Some of the degree courses offered are unique in Italy, such as Military Strategy, Biotechnology, Sport Sciences, Restoration and Conservation (in Venaria).
The University of Turin has a remarkable research tradition in traditional subjects such as history, philosophy, law, economics and medicine but it is currently branching out into important modern sectors, such as food science, social politics, IT, performing arts and communication sciences.
There are 22 libraries spread over 32 locations. The Botanic Garden and several University Museums such as "Cesare Lombroso" - Criminal Anthropology Museum and "Luigi Rolando" - Human Anatomy Museum are well known.
The University takes a close interest in the network of local museums, on subjects ranging from Egypt to contemporary Art and it runs its own media, radio, television and film production units.
The University makes an active stand on a number of social issues, such as environment, drugs, equal opportunities and rights of people with special needs. It also acts at an international level through partnership arrangements with India, China, developing countries in Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean Area and with a number of international organizations operating in the region.
The Piedmont Regional Agency for the Right to University Education (EDISU) - a regional institution offering assistance to students - awards scholarships to university students based on prerequisites of merit and need: the amount of the scholarships depends on the student's financial situation.
UniTo is also partner of UNITA - Universitas Montium, an alliance of six comprehensive research universities from five countries: Universidade Beira Interior - UBI Portugal, Université de Pau et de Pays de l'Adour, Universidad de Zaragoza - UNIZAR Spain, Université Savoie Mont Blanc - USMB France and Universitatea de Vest din Timișoara West - UVT Romania.
Turin is a lively, people-oriented city and boasts a wide variety of cultural resources: historic buildings, world-class museums and galleries, as well as numerous exhibitions and fairs.
The city’s parks and 2 rivers together with the nearby mountains and lakes provide a great leisure environment.
