Studenti stranieri e studenti italiani allogeni dalla fondazione di Ca’ Foscari alla fine della Seconda guerra mondiale (1868-1945)

Since its foundation in 1868 the Scuola Superiore di Commercio di Venezia, today Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, decided to focus its attention on the process of internationalisation. Students studied economics, foreign languages, rights and diplomacy among other subjects. The international purpose of the School was reinforced by the strong presence of foreign citizens and Italians born abroad. This flow never stopped even during both World Wars. Students mainly came from Central and Eastern Europe, testifying to the strong relationship Venice always had with that part of the Old Continent. This article aims to draw a chart of those students’ nationalities.
