Carlotta Salerno
Carlotta Salerno is the City of Turin's councillor for Education Policy and Youth. Within her portfolio she oversees projects aimed at the university student community and young residents, in cooperation with Turin's universities and with Edisu, the Piedmont regional agency for the right to university education.
The resolution on study rooms at the Murazzi
On 10 November 2026 the Turin City Executive approved, on a proposal from deputy mayor and heritage councillor Michela Favaro and in agreement with councillor Carlotta Salerno, a resolution allocating the arches of the Murazzi del Po between house numbers 30 and 38 to study rooms run by Edisu for a period of ten years [1][2]. The initiative is part of the "Campus Diffuso" project, promoted by the City together with Turin's universities and Edisu, which aims to spread student services across the city's various districts, overcoming their concentration in academic premises alone [1].
Under the agreement, Edisu will bear the cost of refurbishment, maintenance and upgrading of the facilities, while keeping the space committed exclusively to use as study rooms, at no cost to the city budget [1][2]. The publicly owned spaces will be fitted with individual workstations, high-speed internet access, suitable furnishings and accessibility for people with disabilities, with free or discounted access and hours extended into the evening [1][2]. Before the agreement is formally signed, clearance is required from the Soprintendenza, which protects the area's historical and architectural value [1][2].
Commenting on the measure, councillor Salerno said: "We want to confirm the City's willingness to devote spaces to study, to the wish to live the city to the full, responding to a concrete need of students. Investing in accessible, well-equipped study rooms means increasing young people's opportunities, their independence and their right to make the most of urban spaces" [1][2].
