The Institute of the Ursuline Sisters of M.I. was founded by Blessed Brigida Morello in 1649 in Piacenza, via Roma, where it is still located.
The aim of this foundation has been, from the beginning, the promotion of human, christian and cultural training and education of young women.
Next to their schools, the Ursuline Sisters have opened a college for the pupils of “scuola media” and high school living out of town.
In 1993, in response to the demands of the area, the Institute opened a University College with the aim of welcoming and supporting the students who are compelled to live far from their families in order to complete their studies.
The aim of the University is to help train young women in order that they will be able to achieve positions of responsibility both in their private lives and in employment, thanks to the human and cultural experience developed through relationship and learning.
Life in the College is animated by the vivacity and active interest of the young women in the different community projects.
The College of the Ursuline Sisters is a building of historical value, located in the heart of the city center; it perfectly meets the needs of a community of young people.
