Celimontano

Founded in 2003 by professionals from the academic, institutional and industrial worlds, Celimontano was inspired by St. Josemaría Escrivá, founder of Opus Dei, with the aim of ​​being a place for training, studying and discussions, capable of accommodating university students from all over the world.

With a personalized training project, Celimontano helps university students to deepen and integrate the teaching offered by university faculties with those “soft skills” which are increasingly more requested by employers.

Direction Team

Celimontano is lead by professionals in the educational field. Their training is in continuous development; each year the members of the direction conduct refresher training and methodological enrichment. They live in the residence side by side with the girls, accompanying them as they grow.

The personal relationship that develops between direction and students is one of the many strengths of life at Celimontano; it’s a relationship built on listening and openness, to calmly face the challenges and embrace increasingly ambitious goals.

"The Residence has been for me a welcoming home far from home, but also a place of both human and professional growth, of projects and great friendships. The opportunities and experiences lived in the years at the Residence have left a valuable mark that I carry with me in my everyday life, in my family and in my job."

Ursula La Valle

"When I «met» Celimontano I didn't know what I was in for: I expected simply a place to live for the first years of my university life, to meet new friends and then move somewhere else. To my surprise I found so much more: friendship, high-profile cultural education, attention to details, sharing everyday life together… I stayed at Celimontano throughout all my studies. Where could I find anything better?"

Marta Rocchi
University teacher of Business Ethics

"Celimontano is an environment for personal growth, a place where professional education is intertwined with the fundamental values in life, a great choice for anyone willing to follow a path of both intellectual and human growth."

"New experiences, sharing ideas, opinions, interest. The chance to expand your knowledge, also in areas other than your study path. In a nutshell, an opportunity to grow. The best part? For sure the people I met, that are now a part of me."

"Living in the Residence means stepping outside your comfort zone every day, facing new challenges, learning how to deal with different people. Living in the Residence means growing."

"«Home» is where someone is waiting for you. At Celimontano they do it with a nice smile and arms wide open. We are all able to open doors, but it may not be easy to pick the lock to someone's heart. The truth is that there are no locks to pick in this family, and the house keys do not fit in our pockets: I knocked, a bit shy, and love opened the door. We cultivate it together, with commitment and good will, under the eyes of God. We cultivate each other in individual vases, but under the same light, to discover what flowers will bloom before our eyes."

Federica Corpina

"Celimontano is a home away from home. The shared meal times, film nights and cultural events are just some of the things that make the residence warm and welcoming. My experience in Rome would not be the same without it!"

Dominique Goddard
Archeology @ Sapienza

"It is a place that helps you grow professionally and humanly, without separating the two. It transmits the healthy values and the strong principles that can be the guidelines for shaping our future."

Residence Stories

The atmosphere that reigns in Celimontano is that of a typical welcoming home that is always open, where everyone cares for each other and works together for the good of all.

Life in the residence is marked by commitment to daily practice, but is enriched by moments of fun, shared experiences, cultural studies and sports, that must be part of a young and university environment.

Like in a family, every resident is called on to take on small tasks to form a strong sense of responsibility and accountability, and to develop human skills both of relational and managerial nature. This approach will provide a wealth of essential experiences for the student’s personal and professional growth.

Home Administration Team

At Celimontano we take care of every detail to make residents feel at home. Specialized teams take care of housekeeping, cooking, cleaning and laundry services, creating a warm and cozy home.

Meals are prepared to provide a healthy and balanced diet. Like family, we pamper our students on joyous occasions such as holidays, birthdays and anniversaries.
