(
Italian
:

), or simply
Ca' Foscari
, is a
public
research university

business school
in
Venice
,
Italy
. Since its foundation in 1868, it has been housed in the
Venetian Gothic
palace of
Ca' Foscari
, from which it takes its name. The palace stands on the

Dorsoduro
, while the rest of the University is scattered around the historical centre. In addition to the historical centre of Venice, Ca' Foscari also has campuses in

(Royal College of Commerce)
.
As such, it is the second oldest business school in the world, after the
Institut Superieur de Commerce d'Anvers

Ca' Foscari expanded throughout the 1900s and became a full-fledged university in 1968. It currently has eight departments and almost 21,000 students, and is Venice's biggest university.

History
[
edit

San Giobbe Campus, Ca' Foscari's Department of Economics.
Ca' Foscari was founded as the "Regia Scuola Superiore di Commercio" (Royal College of Commerce) by a Royal Decree dated 6 August 1868, and teaching commenced in December of the same year. The idea of establishing such a school had arisen after the annexation of the
Veneto
to the new
Kingdom of Italy
in 1866, and was promoted by three people in particular: the Jewish
political economist
Luigi Luzzatti
, later
Prime Minister of Italy
; Edoardo Deodati,
senator
of the Kingdom of Italy and vice-president of the
province of Venice
; and the Sicilian political economist
Francesco Ferrara
, director of the school for its first thirty years.
[3]
The school was the first institute of higher education in
commerce
in Italy.
[9]
It also had a diplomatic section to train and educate Diplomats and
commercial consular staff
for overseas service and international law. In addition, Ca' Foscari was also created to operate as a
training college
for secondary school teachers of commercial subjects. Foreign languages were taught from the start as well as the study of foreign cultures. The school was parallelled only by the
Institut Superieur de Commerce d'Anvers
, founded in 1853 in
Antwerp
,
Belgium
.
[3]
Today, Ca' Foscari is still a specialised university for the study of business economics, humanitites and languages.
[4]
San Sebastiano Campus.
Following the establishment of a national syllabus for university teaching in 1935, the Istituto Superiore di Economia e Commercio di Venezia, as it was by then called, was authorised to award four-year
laurea
degrees.
[10]
In 1968 it obtained university status, and the name was changed to Universita degli Studi di Venezia. In the following year two new faculties were created, of
industrial chemistry
and of philosophy and letters.
[3]
Currently, Ca' Foscari hosts eight strategic research centers:
[11]
the
Center for Cultural Heritage and Technology

[12]
the
Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change

[13]
the European Centre for Living Technology,
[14]
the
Center for Humanities and Social Change
, the
Institute for Global Challenges
, the
Marco Polo Centre
, the
Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities
, and the
Venice Centre in Economic and Risk Analytics for Public Policies
.
