Thesis Front Page for Ca' Foscari University of Venice (in LaTeX)

This repository contains a LaTeX port of the front page (in Italian frontespizio) required for a thesis at Ca' Foscari University of Venice (Italy).

Since I used ClassicThesis and LyX to write mine, I also provide a .lyx version of the front page. I have made a tweaked template specifically for ClassicThesis, however I also provide a generic one that works with any template.

The original document provided by Ca' Foscari University can be found here, however it has some issues:

  • it is in RTF format
  • it is huge (more than 6 MB)
  • despite the previous point, it has a very ugly, low-quality logo

I have re-drawn the logo and the text in full vector format, and the good news is that the official guidelines include the following sentence:

Fonts and colors are free.

Thus you can use the same font as the rest of your document.

Contents

The following files are provided:

  • Titlepage-Cafoscari-ClassicThesis-Config.tex: configuration file for the ClassicThesis version
  • Titlepage-Cafoscari-ClassicThesis-Standalone.tex: LaTeX document to compile the ClassicThesis version
  • Titlepage-Cafoscari-Generic-Config.tex: configuration file for the generic version
  • Titlepage-Cafoscari-Generic-Standalone.tex: LaTeX document to compile the generic version
  • Titlepage-Cafoscari.tex: actual code to render the title page
  • Titlepage-Cafoscari.lyx: LyX file for the ClassicThesis version
  • ExampleThesis.tex: example showing how to integrate the front page in your thesis
  • gfx/00_cafoscari.pdf: logo of Ca' Foscari University

Packages graphicx and textpos are required.

Usage

LyX Version (ClassicThesis)

Copy the Titlepage-Cafoscari.lyx file in the same directory as the other LyX files of the ClassicThesis for LyX template. Make sure to merge the contents of the gfx directory as well. Modify ClassicThesis.lyx to replace the old first page.

ClassicThesis Version

Make sure the necessary files are located in the directory of the template (the one including classicthesis-config.tex). Customize the contents of Titlepage-Cafoscari-ClassicThesis-Config.tex and then add the following at the end of the preamble in the main document:

\input{Titlepage-Cafoscari-ClassicThesis-Config}

Compile file Titlepage-Cafoscari-ClassicThesis-Standalone.tex to check that everything is OK.

To integrate the front page in your file, put this after \begin{document}, replacing the old one:

\input{Titlepage-Cafoscari}
\cleardoublepage

Generic Version

Customize the contents of Titlepage-Cafoscari-Generic-Config.tex (the names of the commands are mostly borrowed from ClassicThesis). Add the following at the end of the preamble of your thesis:

\input{Titlepage-Cafoscari-Generic-Config}

Compile file Titlepage-Cafoscari-Generic-Standalone.tex to check that everything is OK.

To integrate the front page in your file, put this after \begin{document}:

\input{Titlepage-Cafoscari}
\cleardoublepage

You can have a look at file ExampleThesis.tex to see how the page can be integrated in a document.
