The classroom is named in memory of Monia Andreani, philosopher, activist, and lecturer at the University, who dedicated her life and research to the themes of the ethics of care, vulnerability, and inclusion.
The decision to renovate it symbolizes the transformation of her teachings into a tangible space of welcome and exchange for the entire student community.
