Don Bosco College

The “Don Bosco College” was founded in 1965 by the Salesian Don Bosco Congregation and is located in the southeastern part of Pavia in the building designed by Ottavio Bonomi. During the years of Salesian management, the facility then specialized in hospitality for university students. Following the College’s closure during the pandemic years, the University of Pavia purchased the property. The major acquisition was made possible by substantial ministerial funding under the NRP initiatives. The heart of the facility is a residence with 95 living quarters, refectory rooms, offices, meeting rooms and social spaces. There are also major sports facilities, including soccer field made available to all male and female students of EDiSU Colleges.

It is headed by Prof. Gloria Brusotti, researcher at Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
