Between Power and Reality

This Must Be the Place
There are places that welcome. And places that transform. Bocconi is both: a space where talent, knowledge, and trust come together to create opportunities that grow over time. During the 2026 Donor Event, we celebrated a community that chooses to look to the future, supporting students, research, and ideas capable of making an impact far beyond the University’s borders. From Ferdinando Bocconi’s vision to the stories of those who benefit from this support today, every image tells a story of faith in the future. Because giving isn’t just about contributing to a project: it means believing in people’s potential and helping to build a shared tomorrow. A future that doesn’t emerge on its own, but takes shape thanks to a community that continues to open paths, create possibilities, and leave a lasting mark.

Everyday Safety: How the Bocconi System Works

Safety at Bocconi is the result of a structured organization that integrates infrastructure, technology and people. At its core is the control room, which continuously monitors indoor and outdoor spaces through a system of over 800 cameras and dedicated operators responsible for surveillance and response. This is complemented by an on-campus healthcare service, including an infirmary open on weekdays, first responders and a daily medical service. In the areas of prevention and emergency management, the model is based on multiple levels that must operate in a coordinated manner: prevention, protection, emergency response and individual behavior.

Here are some figures: 800 cameras monitoring indoor and outdoor spaces; 1,803 fire extinguishers; 465 hydrants; 184 hose reels; 12,090 smoke detectors (including student residences); 10 AEDs; 350 emergency floor plans; 9 assembly points.
