About 15 minutes by car from La Tana del Cinghiale
History and academic tradition
The Pisan university has trained some of history's most brilliant minds: Galileo Galilei studied and taught here, and alumni include Nobel laureates, presidents of the Republic and key figures in Italian science and culture.
With 20 departments and over 50,000 students, the university is today an internationally renowned research hub, particularly strong in physics, computer science, engineering, medicine and humanities.
Historic buildings
University buildings are scattered throughout Pisa's historic centre, blending with the urban fabric. La Sapienza, the historic building on via Curtatone, and the Polo Fibonacci in the science quarter are the main campuses.
The Botanical Garden of Pisa, founded in 1544, is the world's oldest university botanical garden and a green oasis in the city's heart.
A university city
Pisa is a city deeply shaped by the university presence: student quarters, libraries, laboratories and coworking spaces create a stimulating and cosmopolitan environment.
