Rector of the “Regina Mundi” School in Milan since January 2023

Matteo Severgnini was previously the director of the Luigi Giussani High School in Kampala, Uganda since 2012. The educational challenge and the passion for the growth of new generations have given rise to numerous collaborations with international institutes that have made education their mission, thus creating a network of cooperation and cultural discussion that enriches the common work. Among the various institutes we point out: the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart of Milan; the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana; the Catholic University of America of Washinton; Cristo Rey High School of Boston; the Katholische Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, the Sacro Cuore school of Milan; the La Traccia high school in Bergamo, the Cardinal Maurice Otunga School in Nairobi; the Saint Peter and Paul school in Lagos.

Matteo Severgnini has always shared his life with the younger generations, both for the work of teaching that he has carried out since he graduated in 2005, in Philosophy and History at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan, and for the simple recognition that the education of the heart is the only true emergency that distinguishes the human era.

For this awareness Matteo Severgnini has joined and joins various activities and events.

From 2003-2005 he was president of the university association “Oltre il suono”. A cultural and musical organization that has planned and realized more than 20 public meetings in the city of Milan, with the aim of knowing, through music, the beauty of human expression.

Founding member of the association “Centocanti”, a cultural association for the dissemination of the work of Dante Alighieri and Italian literature. The association was founded by a dozen students from the Catholic University and, in just over a year, involved more than one hundred students from all over Italy and the world, who created a living “Divine Comedy”, learning a canto from the Comedy by heart.

It collaborated in the conception and realization of the event “Centocanti per Milano” on March 31, 2006, the first of its kind, which saw a hundred student members of the Centocanti association involved in the complete recitation of Dante’s Comedy throughout the city of Milan.
