FIU World Center Genoa

Ucc pres 2024

The Convent of S. Maria di Castello was begun around the ninth or tenth century AD in the oldest part of the city, which after various uses through the centuries was bombed in WWII and reconstructed/renovated in 1990.

The Dominicans departed the convent in 2015, and renovated one wing of the complex for FIU.

FIU leases approximately 2,000 SF of renovated spaces on 2 floors with classroom, studio space, seminar room and office.
