About University
Founded on July 14, 1998, the University of Insubria has the distinction of
being one of the first Italian Universities that has experimented with a
model of organization featuring an original bi-polar network system
involving the two main centers of Como and Varese, as well as other
satellite centers under the single logo of the Universitas Studiorum
Insubriae.
INSUBRIA UNIVERSITY - EXCHANGE PARTNER INFORMATION
Insubres were some groups of Celtic origin that settled around the 4th
century B.C. in the territory included within the Lombard Western Prealps
and the Ticino, Adda and Po rivers. In the following centuries their name
survived in the placename Sibrium (Castelseprio), center of the Varese
province, which for centuries had an important role in the history of the
relations between Milan, Como and Varese. Since Humanism, the words
Insubres and Insubria have been used to indicate, from time to time,
different (geographical, natural, political, institutional, economical)
aspects of this area.
The aspiration to this cultural unity is symbolized by the logo, deriving
from a graphic study of the archaeological finds in the Varese and Como
territory. Green, like the color of the region’s rich vegetation, two
streams flowing into one river, which in the meantime divides and unites
the two lake districts, and fertilizes the surrounding land, represent the
aspiration of the University of Insubria to culturally nourish its host
territories. Apart from the metaphor, the University of Insubria also
strives to create around itself a cultural homogeneity of the highest
order, picking up the baton to give voice to strong identifying values and
transform them into important cultural projects.
