In 2020, partly in response to the COVID-19 emergency, the guided tour project of the University's campuses was transformed into a digital format, with the creation of three videos dedicated to each historic campus.

Through the narrative voices of the students involved in the project, visitors can discover the historical and cultural value of the Luiss sites.

Villa Blanc

The Villa Blanc complex, home to the Luiss Business School, is the culmination of a major renovation project undertaken by Luiss Guido Carli University, aimed at restoring the building to its historic splendor. A jewel of late 19th-century eclecticism, commissioned by Baron Alberto Blanc, Minister of Foreign Affairs under the Crispi Cabinet, it comprises a main villa, six smaller villas, and greenhouses nestled within a park featuring prized, typically Mediterranean species. The campus offers students a unique learning experience, combining cutting-edge technological innovations with a prestigious historical setting.

Villa Alberoni

The historic campus of Luiss Guido Carli University is located within the park in the Trieste district, which Cardinal Giulio Alberoni transformed into his country residence, Villa Alberoni, in 1722. Today, the only remnant of the cardinal's estate is the Tinello, a circular building that stands at the heart of the 18th-century park. It still retains its spectacular design, featuring a grotto with stalactites and rockwork, as well as a large nymphaeum that personifies the Nile River, surrounded by cherubs representing its tributaries. The main building was constructed in 1924, designed by the architect Francesco Bruno in the Baroque style, featuring grand staircases, fine marble floors, marble columns, stucco, and exquisite mirrors with a predominant gold hue.

Former Workhouse for the War-Blind

In the early 1990s, the Luiss Guido Carli University acquired its new headquarters on Via Parenzo. This building initially housed the Faculty of Law and has since continued to serve as the home of the Department of Law to this day. The design by Studio Passarelli restores a building from the 1930s, the Casa di Lavoro per i Ciechi di Guerra by Pietro Aschieri, a significant example of modern architecture that has profoundly influenced Rome's architectural landscape. The floor plan reveals highly functional spaces that harmonize with a minimalist aesthetic. While devoid of decoration, they are rich in sculptural solutions, articulated through simple volumes in shades of gray. The interior spaces confirm the choice of gray in the cementite cladding on the reinforced concrete frame and in the Venetian-style terrazzo floors.
