A tribute to Luigi Lorenzetti
Luigi Lorenzetti was born in 1964 at Banco (Bedigliora), in Malcantone. He studied at the University of Geneva, where he earned a PhD in Economics and Social History under Professor Anne-Lise Head-König. In 2000, he began his research career in Lugano, at the then Institute of Alpine History (ISALP) of the USI, where Professor Jean-François Bergier was President and Professor Jon Mathieu Coordinator.
In 2006, coinciding with his move to Mendrisio and appointment to the Academy of Architecture, Luigi Lorenzetti took over the coordination of the Laboratory of Alpine History (LabiSAlp) as Professor of the “Territorial Culture” area.
In 2025, LabiSAlp is celebrating its 25 years of activity.
