The academic offer of the Faculty of Psychology boasts a long history that began with the pioneering experiences of Father Agostino Gemelli, founder of the University, who, with his Psychology Laboratory, launched at the beginning of the last century, contributed decisively to the progress of this discipline in Italy.
