Scuola superiore per mediatori linguistici Carlo Bo

The Scuola superiore per mediatori linguistici Carlo Bo — also known as the Istituto di Alti Studi SSML Carlo Bo — is an Italian higher-education institution dedicated to linguistic mediation, translation and interpreting. Its legal headquarters are in Milan, at via Simone Martini 23, and it operates across five Italian cities: Milan, Rome, Florence, Bologna and Bari. The school is the modern continuation of the Scuola Superiore per Interpreti e Traduttori (SSIT) founded in Milan in 1951 by the literary critic and life senator Carlo Bo together with the teacher Silvio Federico Baridon, with the aim of training qualified professionals in foreign languages to strengthen Italy's contacts with the rest of the world. The institute's main academic offering is a three-year diploma in Scienze della Mediazione Linguistica, a qualification equivalent to a bachelor's degree in linguistic mediation and classified at ministerial level L-12. English is compulsory, and students add a second language chosen from Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, Spanish, German and Portuguese; extracurricular courses in Japanese and Swedish are also available, alongside Italian-language writing workshops and simultaneous-interpreting laboratories in English, French, Spanish and German. The school describes four specialised study tracks with in-depth work in law, marketing, communication and digital technologies, a trilingual curriculum for those choosing the Mediazione Linguistica e Interculturale specialisation, and an emphasis on practical exercises and a favourable student-to-teacher ratio. The institution presents itself as combining the solidity of a ministerial-level academic path with an engaging, personalised teaching method, close student-teacher interaction and a practical, interactive approach intended to reduce academic drop-out and raise satisfaction. It reports that 82% of its students find work within six months in fields closely related to the three-year programme, and it offers international experiences including Erasmus, mobility programmes, summer schools and supplementary and advanced language certifications. Executive master's courses are also advertised. The school is governed by the Fondazione Scuola Superiore per Interpreti e Traduttori Ente Morale, established in 1951. Carlo Bo served as its president from the beginning until 2001, and Senator Giulio Andreotti presided until 2013. Today the foundation is led by a Consiglio di Amministrazione chaired by Prof. Giovanni Puglisi, with Salvatore Carrubba as vice-president and members Paolo Proietti, Ambassador Gianfranco Facco Bonetti and Matteo Signoriello. The Dipartimento di Mediazione linguistica, Istituto di Alti Studi SSML Carlo Bo, is a department of the foundation with full autonomy. In 1968 the school promoted and helped create a university institute that grew into the Libera Università di Lingue e Comunicazione IULM.

The Scuola superiore per mediatori linguistici Carlo Bo traces its origins to the Scuola Superiore per Interpreti e Traduttori (SSIT), founded in Milan in 1951 by the literary critic and life senator Carlo Bo and the teacher Silvio Federico Baridon. The school was created to train qualified professionals in foreign languages in order to increase Italy's contacts with the rest of the world. Its original premises stood in via Silvio Pellico, near the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan. Carlo Bo served as president of the institution from its foundation until 2001, while Baridon was its first director. In 1953 a new site was opened in Rome, and over time further sites were inaugurated in Florence, Bologna, Naples, Bari and Genoa. In 1955 the SSIT consolidated its structure and adopted the institutional form of a foundation; in 1958 it was erected as an Ente Morale (a legally recognised moral entity). In 1968 the school promoted and realised the foundation of a university institute which, starting from the fundamental base of foreign languages, grew over the years into the Libera Università di Lingue e Comunicazione IULM. After Carlo Bo, the foundation was presided over by Senator Giulio Andreotti until 2013. Today, according to its statute, the foundation is governed by a Consiglio di Amministrazione chaired by Prof. Giovanni Puglisi and composed of Salvatore Carrubba (vice-president), Prof. Paolo Proietti, Ambassador Gianfranco Facco Bonetti and Matteo Signoriello. The board directs strategic policy, coordinates programming and controls the management of the foundation's activities. The Collegio dei Revisori comprises Mariangela Mazzaglia as president, Francesco Campobasso and Walter Cerioli. The modern institution is the actualisation of that original school. Its Dipartimento di Mediazione linguistica, Istituto di Alti Studi SSML Carlo Bo, is a department of the Fondazione Scuola Superiore per Interpreti e Traduttori Ente Morale with full autonomy. Its legal headquarters are in Milan at via Simone Martini 23, and it is active throughout Italy with sites in Milan, Rome, Florence, Bologna and Bari. The school offers a three-year course in Scienze della Mediazione Linguistica that awards a qualification equivalent to a bachelor's degree in linguistic mediation. English is compulsory, with a second language chosen from Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian, Spanish, German and Portuguese, plus extracurricular courses in Japanese and Swedish and laboratories in Italian writing and simultaneous interpreting in English, French, Spanish and German. The institute presents its educational experience as combining a ministerial-level academic path (L-12) with an engaging, tailored teaching method, a favourable student-to-teacher ratio and practical, interactive learning, and it reports that 82% of students find work within six months in fields closely related to the three-year programme.
