Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna - Bologna, Città Metropolitana di Bologna

Liviu-Cristian Mihon

Historically the oldest university in the world in continuous operation, being founded in 1088, almost a thousand years ago.

The university itself is quite large, with many faculties being located on adjacent streets and even further through the city.

It's not really open for visiting but there's a lot to see and experience even without going inside the many faculty buildings. There's also a large interior park.

The university has 14 different museums, with the majority being on the main street where the main university building is also located.

Situata in Via Zamboni 33, la segreteria dell'Università di Bologna è una struttura storica molto affascinante, con dipinti, sculture e stanze molto suggestive.
Per ottenere delle informazioni vi è una lista di attesa basata sui numeri, ma è consigliato telefonare e prenotare un appuntamento, in modo da velocizzare il tutto.
La struttura si trova in una posizione molto centrale, a pochi passi da diverse Facoltà, come Lettere, Economia e Giurisprudenza.
Pur essendo mantenuta molto bene, vi sono alcune tracce di danni, soprattutto al soffitto, dove si vedono i mattoni attraverso delle grosse crepe e per questo motivo assegno 4 stelle invece di 5.
Consiglio anche di migliorare il servizio di segreteria, mettendo a disposizione più sportelli, soprattutto se si sa già che ci sono molte prenotazioni.

I was a part of an American exchange program. Through this program, I was able to study at the University of Bologna for a year, and I took all my classes in Italian. Most of the classes had oral exams, so it really helped me to speak Italian better. The school is located all throughout the city center. The city is beautiful. I had a history class in a theatre, and one in a beautiful hall that had art on the ceilings and walls. I took a class on Dante and his literature which is amazing in itself. I also had a few other literature classes and an art class there. Taking classes at the University of Bologna was a wonderful experience!

L'università più antica del mondo occidentale ha un fascino considerevole.. grazie alle giornate di promozione del FAI, visitate le stanze del Rettore con soffitti adornati da affreschi e stucchi ben conservati..

It is one of the most prestigious Italian universities, commonly ranking in the first places of national, European and international rankings both as a whole and for individual subjects.

It was the first place of study to use the term universitas for the corporations of students and masters, which came to define the institution (especially its famous law school) located in Bologna. The university's emblem carries the motto Alma mater studiorum ("Nourishing mother of studies") and the date A.D. 1088, and it has about 86,500 students in its 11 schools.It has campuses in Cesena, Forlì, Ravenna and Rimini and a branch center abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina.It also has a school of excellence named Collegio Superiore di Bologna. An associate publisher of the University of Bologna is the Bononia University Press.

The University of Bologna saw the first woman to earn a university degree and teach at a university, Bettisia Gozzadini, and the first woman to earn both a doctorate in science and a salaried position as a university professor, Laura Bassi.
