History The Politecnico di Torino was founded in 1906, but its origins go back further. It was preceded by the Technical School for Engineers founded in 1859. The Technical School for Engineers was part of the university, which led to technical studies being accepted as part of higher education.
In the 20th Century new Engineering courses were activated. In November 1958 the vast Corso Duca degli Abruzzi campus opened to house the Engineering courses.
In the 1990's new teaching campuses have opened in Alessandria, Aosta, Biella, Ivrea, Mondovi and Vercelli.
Campuses In Turin there are two campuses: the Valentino Castle on the River Po is still the main teaching campus for Architecture, while the Corso Duca degli Abruzzi campus is dedicated mainly to Engineering.
