The University Carlo Cattaneo (Italian: Libera Università Carlo Cattaneo, LIUC) is a university located in Castellanza, Italy. It was founded in 1991 and is organized in three Faculties. The University is named after Carlo Cattaneo, a nineteenth century local thinker and economist whose philosophy placed human intelligence and willpower alongside the three elements of classic economics - raw materials, capital and labour - thus putting the entrepreneur at the very heart of the economic process.
History and Profile
The University Carlo Cattaneo (LIUC) is an independent, state-recognised institution established in 1991 by the Industrial Association of the Province of Varese (UNIVA).

The university is housed in a nineteenth century cotton mill which has been beautifully restored by the world famous Italian architect Aldo Rossi .
