Studium is located in the tranquil Alpine village of Pollone, just 90 minutes from Milan and Turin. Nestled between mountains and countryside, it offers a unique environment where study, dialogue, hospitality, and spirituality come together.
Nature begins right outside the door, with direct access to walking and hiking trails such as the Parco della Burcina and Poggio Frassati, named in memory of Pier Giorgio Frassati — one of Pollone’s most remarkable natives. The village has also been home to other distinguished figures, including Benedetto Croce and Gustavo Colonnetti.
Pollone is a welcoming community with excellent food shops, cafés, and local restaurants — including a Michelin-starred dining experience.
👉 From here, visitors can explore not only the natural beauty of the Alps, but also the rich cultural and intellectual heritage of the region.
