800 Years University of Padua

To celebrate its 800th anniversary, the University of Padua organized the first edition of the “Donor Event,” dedicated to its supporters. The event aimed to thank individuals, companies, organizations, foundations, associations, and professional orders that supported the University’s institutional projects from 2019 to 2022.
The event took place on Thursday, June 30, 2022, at the Auditorium of the Botanical Garden of Padua, with 100 major donors in attendance. The ceremony was opened by the Rector, Prof. Daniela Mapelli.

SAY supported the Fundraising Office of the University of Padua in developing the creative concept for the event.
To highlight the donors, the team proposed the creation of a “donor wall” — a printed wall displaying the names of all attending donors, arranged to form the number 800, in reference to the University’s anniversary. The donor wall was unveiled during the ceremony and was later exhibited at Palazzo Bo, the historic seat of the University of Padua since 1493.

The agency handled the design of all materials needed for the event’s identity and promotion, producing both digital and printed assets in line with the visual identity: invitation, program, badge, map, roll-up banners, and posters.
