What our students say

Living at Bertoni, a “Fondazione La Vincenziana” Hall of Residence was a mission for me, a call to life. I filled millions of pages with names, stories, experiences and feelings that my mind and heart will never forget. The all of residence is a mix of unstoppable lives that shake yours up, turn it upside down, roll it around and transform it into something shining and unique. If I could go back and it again, I would choose Bertoni, forever and ever. Why? Because it taught me about diversity and transformed it into uniqueness and because it stripped my fears and addressed them.

My two years at the Bertoni Hall of Residence in Piazzale Udine were one of a kind. I met so many new people, friends, people I will never forget and on whom I can always rely for anything. There is so much more I could say… It was an opportunity to learn to play music, perform and entertain at parties. And how could I ever forget the mega events with 80+ people going out together!

The San Paolo Hall of Residence was a home for me. It was, at the same time, a safe haven during my first few years in Milan and a launchpad into adulthood.

A safe retreat where you find friends after a long day at university, a magical place where every day is different and you are never bored. This is what the hall of residence was for me and I will always be grateful to it for having taught me to live, love and respect the world and the people around me.

My experience over the five years I spent at the San Filippo Neri Hall of Residence was extremely positive and taught me so much. It enabled me to grow, mature and, at the same time, always make new friends. In terms of university, they were very intense years, and the atmosphere at the hall of residence helped me face and successfully complete a path filled with stimulating challenges. One important aspect that I never underestimated from when I first joined the hall of residence was actively taking part in community life, which is fundamental if you want to fully experience hall of residence life. Over the years I participated in the interesting initiatives they organised, from cultural to sports events, which broadened the range of my experiences. In conclusion, I would recommend this experience to everyone, especially first-year students. Being catapulted into a new world like Milan universities in such a short space of time can knock you off your feet at first. The San Filippo Neri Hall of Residence is the right place to start this new adventure with a leg up!

My experience at the hall of residence was truly positive. If I could back and do it again, without a doubt I would. I learned a sense of belonging, that sharing is more important than individualism, that “us” comes before “me” because when you’re part of a community, everyone is willing to help each other, even with a problem bigger than a university exam. In these five years, I met people who went on to become my best friends, with whom I shared so many moments. The true strength of the hall of residence has always been the people who make it up. “People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime” and I found friends for life here. These are long-lasting friendships that go beyond the path that each of us has taken and I will always be grateful to the place that brought us together… the SAN FILIPPO NERI Hall of Residence.

Il collegio è stato per me prima di tutto una Casa! Grazie alle persone splendide che ho conosciuto tra queste quattro mura sono riuscita a sentirmi accolta e protetta in una città come Milano, che sentivo così grande e lontana. Tra colazioni, pause caffè, momenti di condivisione in aula studio, cene, corsi di formazione, tornei, incontri di discussione, sorrisi e abbracci non c’è stato un giorno in cui mi sia sentita sola. Poter tornare dall'università e trovare sorrisi che ti accolgono, persone con cui condividere i racconti della giornata e studiare assieme sono le piccole cose che hanno reso i miei anni universitari i più belli della mia vita.

Our history

Fondazione La Vincenziana is part of the Milan Diocese.

It was founded as an ecclesiastical body on 11 May 1934 and as a body recognised under civil law on 18 May 1935 by Cardinal Alfredo Ildefonso Schuster, who bestowed on it the “essential purpose of providing religious assistance to young workers without family in Milan”.

Indeed, at that time, many young men from villages in Lombardy and other Italian regions found work in Milan but ran the risk of “losing their way”. Instead, the Foundation offered them accommodation in a Hostel run by a priest, where they could enjoy a family atmosphere, assistance with the difficulties of life away from home and guidance to grow in the faith.

In the 1970s, the Foundation expanded its activities when it began managing a few Halls of Residence for university students in the city of Milan and various Hostels for workers that Fondazione Opere Sociali della Cassa di Risparmio delle Province Lombarde (the Social Works Foundation of the Lombardy Province Savings Banks) had built for migrant workers from Southern Italy.

Today, the Foundation runs the following accommodation facilities:

  • San Paolo University Hall of Residence
  • San Filippo Neri University Hall of Residence
  • Bertoni University House

The Foundation is a non-profit organisation managed by a Board of five people (one chairman and four directors) appointed by the Archbishop. It is based in Piazza Fontana 2, Milan.
