Behind the Gala
Celebrating our Community
The BESS Gala is the formal event of the Bachelor in Economic and Social Sciences (BESS) community. The Gala revives the grand university balls that once marked academic life in Italy, reimagining them as a contemporary celebration of culture, fellowship, and excellence.
Hosted in the heart of Milan, the Gala brings together students, alumni, and friends of the BESS programme for an unforgettable evening of music, dance, and conversation.
With over 250 guests, live performances, and awards, the BESS Gala stands as a symbol of community and aspiration: a bridge between academic legacy and the vibrant world beyond it.

The Impact We Have
We were the first ones to do it
The BESS Gala aims to strengthen the bond within the BESS community, connecting students, alumni, and friends through culture and celebration. Beyond the event itself, it fosters lasting relationships, encourages interdisciplinary dialogue, and builds a network of future leaders united by shared values of excellence, curiosity, and fellowship.
