Edoardo Casini

Edoardo Casini

Eager to build a better future for himself and others, Edoardo Casini has been involved in social initiatives since he was little: as a volunteer in a family home, standing on the frontline in the fight for civil rights and the founder in 2019 of the “Friday for Future” movement in Livorno. His fervent ambition and great enthusiasm led Edoardo to take part in a competition run by the United World Colleges, an organization of international schools with the aim of promoting peace, sustainability and inclusion.
Having spent two years at the Li Po Chun United World College of Hong Kong, Edoardo decided to apply to read Economics and Management at the University of Oxford. Unable to afford the tuition fees, Edoardo wrote over 100 letters to companies in Italy and abroad, to ask for the financial help he needed for his studies.
As a matter of fact, his request gave the Perotti family the impetus to set up the Fondazione Sanlorenzo. The scholarship he was awarded – the Foundation’s first – enabled Edoardo to attend such a prestigiou institution in the UK, making him one of the few Italians admitted to the Economics course there that year. Edoardo was only the first young person assisted by Fondazione Sanlorenzo and our scholarships, which give new and brilliant minds the means the chart their route into the world of the future.
