This study examines the impact of the Financial Education project «A Beautiful Education» on young secondary school students in Italy. The paper highlights how Financial Education can significantly improve young people's knowledge and trust in the banking and financial industry. The results show an increase in trust in banks, a greater self-assessment of financial knowledge and significant improvements in the understanding of specific concepts such as financial mathematics, cooperative credit, and gambling. These results underline how a well-structured training approach can have a positive effect on young people's financial knowledge and skills, increasing their capacity to manage financial matters in a more informed and effective way.
