University of Turin (Università degli Studi di Torino)
University Information, Campus and History
(Turin, Italy)
The University of Turin is located in Turin (or Torino) in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy. It was founded in the beginning of the 15th century by Prince Ludovico of Savoia-Acaja and was officially recognized by Pope Benedetto XII in 1404. It is one of the oldest Italian institutes and one of the few European universities with a medieval origin.
The university has been closely linked to Torino's fate over the centuries. Despite a period of crisis during the French occupation in the mid-sixteenth century and the difficulties of wars and plagues centuries after, the university continued to grow during the dukedoms of Emanuele Filiberto, Carlo Emanuele I, and Vittorio Amedeo II.
Presently, the university has several buildings scattered around the city, including the present seat in Via Po. The University of Turin is one of the universities with the largest number of students and teachers in Italy, with around 63,000 students.
