ON 21 APRIL 2023, TURIN CAMPUS HELD THE 17TH EDITION OF ITS ANNUAL GALA, THE MOST GLAMOROUS NIGHT IN THE SOCIAL CALENDAR OF ESCP BUSINESS SCHOOL IN ITALY.

The ESCP Turin Campus celebrated the 50th anniversary of our European model with an astonishing edition of its annual Gran Galà, held for the first time in the spring. The event attracted more than 500 guests from the ESCP team, faculty, institutions, partners, students and alumni.
The Gala took place in a unique and glamorous venue, Snodo, part of OGR - Officine Grandi Riparazioni, the multi-purpose cultural centre located in a former train repair facility.

After a welcome drink and a delicious buffet dinner, Prof Fabrizio Granà took to the stage to introduce our students' talent show. He introduced Paloma Benezech and Ambre Bismuth, who played and sang two songs.

The Gala is a time of celebration, bringing together the entire ESCP community and an opportunity to reflect on our achievements and successes.
