The Medal

The Medal features a unique design that is an artistic interpretation of the university's logo, a variation featuring different layers: this harmonious movement from different directions supports the letters "USI". The Medal thus represents the energy that surrounds the university, unleashed by the region and the people who support it and - in different ways - contribute to its development. It was created by goldsmith Maros from Lugano. Each medal is a unique piece, handmade in solid silver, and created using the lost-wax casting technique and sculptural ornamentation.
