About Treviso

Study in Italy - Università di Treviso

Treviso, a delightful little city in the Veneto region (north-east of Italy), can certainly be considered a cradle of the Italian culture.

The area surrounding Treviso, called Marca Trevigiana, was the birthplace of famous artists like Giorgione, Antonio Canova and the well known architect Palladio who designed most of the beautiful villas around Treviso.

Over the last twenty years many small firms have been established in Veneto and these, together with some of the larger firms, such as Benetton, have made this region one of the wealthiest and most economically developed in Italy.

In October 2001 Swinburne University signed an Agreement of Cooperation with the newly established Università in Treviso, which is an independent campus of the Venezia University Ca' Foscari.

In June 2002 the very first group of second and third year students of Italian and European Studies went to Treviso where they undertook courses in Italian and Business studies, which greatly improved their knowledge of the Italian language and culture.

The Agreement between Treviso University and Swinburne University will also enable visits from Treviso lecturers to Swinburne and vice-versa. Professor Ferruccio Bresolin, lecturer in Economics at the Treviso University has already visited Swinburne University more than once, offering seminars on the European integration.
