The University of Pavia is a university located in Pavia, Lombardy, Italy. It was founded in 1361 and is organized in 9 Faculties.
History
The University of Pavia is one of the oldest universities in Europe. An edict issued by the Frankish king of Italy Lothar I (ruled 818-55) mentions the existence of a higher education institution at Pavia as early as AD 825. This institution, mainly devoted to ecclesiastical and civil law as well as to divinity studies, was then selected as the prime educational centre for northern Italy. Officially established as a studium generale by the Holy Roman emperor Charles IV (r. 1355-78) in 1361, the institution was enlarged and renovated by the duke of Milan, Gian Galeazzo Visconti (ruled 1385-1402), becoming the Duchy's sole university.
In 1858, the University was the scene of intense student protests against Austrian rule in northern Italy (through the puppet kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia). The authorities responded by ordering the university's temporary closure. The incidents at Pavia were typical of the wave of nationalist demonstrations all over Italy that immediately preceded the Unification of Italy (1859-66).
During the following centuries, through periods of both adversity and prosperity, the fame of the University of Pavia grew and in Italy and abroad.
Throughout its history, the university has benefited from the presence of many learned men and distinguished scientists who wrote celebrated works and made important discoveries e.g. the mathematician Girolamo Cardano (born in Pavia, 1501-76), the physicist Alessandro Volta (Pavia chair of natural philosophy 1769-1804), the poet Ugo Foscolo (chair of Italian eloquence 1809-10), and the physician Camillo Golgi (at Pavia from 1861).
Also critical to the university's reputation was its distinguished record of public education, epitomised by the establishment of 5 private and public colleges. The oldest colleges, the Collegio Borromeo and Collegio Ghislieri, were built in the 16th century, and in more recent times others were founded through both public and private initiatives: the Nuovo College, the Santa Caterina College and the EDiSU. In 1997, were established the IUSS, which is an Higher Learning Institution (in Italian, "Istituto Universitario di Studi Superiori"). The IUSS is the federal body that links the 5 colleges of Pavia which constitute the Pavia University System.
Today, the University continues to offer a wide variety of disciplinary and inter-disciplinary teaching. Research is carried out in departments, institutes, clinics, centres and laboratories, in close association with public and private institutions, enterprises, and factories.

Museums and Collections
The University of Pavia boasts an extraordinary historical-scientific inheritance. It demonstrates the research and teaching activities that took place over more than six centuries. In numerous museums and collections more than 600,000 objects including instruments, medical apparatus and documents bear witness to the development of the sciences and the results obtained in Pavia that are now part of the history of science, such as those of Cardano, Aselli, Scarpa, Spallanzani, Scopoli, Volta, Brugnatelli, Lombroso, Forlanini and Golgi up to the present day.
Over the last twenty years a team has dedicated much energy and time to restore, identify and exhibit this inheritance and in January 2005 the University founded the Sistema Museale di Ateneo to manage and coordinate all the activities connected with the museums. The Sistema aims to create a number of new scientific museums: the Museum of Electrical Technology, completed in autumn 2006; the Museum of Natural History; and the Museum for the History of Science, in the new scientific campus of the University on the outskirts of the town. Other collections such as the Botanical Garden, the Laboratory of Camillo Golgi, the Museum for the History of the University, the Archeology Museum, have instead been restored in their original buildings, which preserve their historical character.
The Cabinet of Physics of Alessandro Volta
The Museum for the History of the University (Strada Nuova, 65 Ph +39 0382 984709) is divided into two sections: the first, the Physics collection, founded in 1771, which contains the “Cabinet of Physics of Alessandro Volta” and the “Cabinet of Physics of the University”; the second, the Medicine collection, consists of three halls, the sala Golgi, the sala Scarpa and the sala Porta. It is possible to visit the Museum on Monday (h. 2.00 – 5.00 pm) and on Friday (h. 9.00 am – 1.00 pm). Other information may be found on http://ppp.unipv.it/musei.
The Botanical Garden
The botanical garden (Via S. Epifanio 14 Ph +39 0382 984855) was established in the eighteenth century thanks to the efforts of botanist Fulgenzio Vitmann, but it was under the direction of Giovanni Antonio Scopoli that the garden became comparable to the most famous botanical gardens of the period. It has 300.000 specimens collected in twelve different sections. Since 1996 the Garden has been linked with the Department of Territorial Ecology and Environment. It is used by research scientists for teaching and experimental plant cultivation. The Garden is divided into: Rose Garden, Gymnosperm Arboretum, Tea bed, Nemoral plant collection, Angiosperm arboretum, Seed Bank, Bosco Negri Teaching Centre, Tropical greenhouse, Medicinal herb collection, Useful plants greenhouse, Scopoli greenhouses, Scopoli’s arboretum and platanus. Botanic Garden opening times: Monday to Thursday: 9.00 – 12.30 14.30 – 17.00; Friday: 9.00 – 12.00 (contacts: orto.botanico@unipv.it; web site: http://et2.unipv.it/homepage/orto/homeort.html).
The Museum of Natural History
The origins of the Museum of Natural History go back to 1769, the year in wich Lazzaro Spallanzani became professor of Natural History at the University of Pavia. It is divided into three sections: Comparative Anatomy, Zoology and Geo-Paleontology. Awaiting a new site in the scientific campus, today the Museum has offices and laboratories in the historical building called “Palazzo Botta” (Piazza Botta, 9 Ph +39 0382 986308) and an exhibition (open to the public upon reservation, contact: centro.museo@unipv.it) in Via Guffanti, 13.
The Museum of Electrical Technology
The Museum of Electrical Technology (Via Ferrata Ph +39 0382 984101) is the first of the new scientific museums planned for the Cravino Campus. Its collections began in 1991 for teaching purposes and for the research about the history of electrical technology, and developed with donations from public and private electrical companies such as Enel and Sirti. The Museum will be opened at the beginning of 2007 and it will be possible to visit its collection upon reservation (http://www.unipv.it/museotecnica).
The Museum of Mineralogy
The Museum of Mineralogy (Via Ferrata, 1 – Ph +39 0382 985890) was at first a section of the Museum of Natural History and became a Museum in the eighteenth century, under the guide of Giuseppe Mangili, who succeded Lazzaro Spallanzani. It has both a systematic and a regional collection of minerals and rocks. The museum is open on Monday to Thursday from 14.00 to 16.00 and Friday from 9.00 to 12.00 (http://ppp.unipv.it/musei).
Other colletions
In addition to these museums, the university has many collections still in their original locations, that unfortunately are not available to the public: the Archeology Museum (Via Strada Nuova, 65 Ph +39 0382 984497) founded by P.V.Aldini in 1819 with didactic aims, the Museum of Normal Human Anatomy, established at the end of the seventeenth century; the Collection of Pathological Anatomy, originated in the days of post-mortem specimens prepared in the S. Matteo Hospital; the Collection of Physiology founded by Eusebio Oehl in 1860 and consisting of about 300 items (medical instruments and documents).
The Collection of Histology and Embryology created in the last years of the eighteenth century, contains about 10 thousand objects which were prepared especially for teaching purposes.
The Collection of General Pathology (P.zza Botta, 10 Ph +39 0382 984712) is strongly connected with the activity of the Nobel Prize-winner Camillo Golgi, who discovered the black reaction, the Golgi’s Apparatus and the Plasmodium of Malaria . Under his direction, during the end of 1800 and at the turn of the 20th century, the Institute of General Pathology became a research centre of international renown. Today it is possible to visit the ancient library and the recently restored “Aula Golgi”.
The Collection of Chemistry has 200 objects which testify to the history of chemistry and its teaching from the second half of the eighteenth century: in 1784 Giovanni Antonio Scopoli, with the cooperation of the architect Giuseppe Piermarini, opened the first chemistry laboratory inside the Botanical Garden.
The Collection of Physics is divided into two parts according to the age of the instruments: the older instruments are located in the Museum for the History of the University and the rest, those from the twentieth century, are housed inside the Department of Physics. The latter, about 800 items, are measurement instruments of electricity, mechanics and thermology.
The Collection of Models and Mathematical Instruments includes mathematical models made of plaster (gypsum), wood or metal, realized at the end of the nineteenth century for teaching purposes.
The Collection of Musicology (C.so Garibaldi, 178 – Cremona Ph +39 0372 457077) belongs to Pavia University even if it is to be found at Cremona, a little town 60 Km from Pavia. The collection consists of 70 musical instruments, of which the most ancient is a piano belonging to the second half of the eighteenth century. It also has some copies of medieval, renaissance and baroque instruments made in the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century.
Historical Halls
Aula Volta
The physics laboratory, built under the instruction of Joseph II and designed by Leopold Pollack, was dedicated to Alessandro Volta, who was a professor (1778-1821) as well as the Rector of the University of Pavia (1786-1787). Construction of the Hall was completed in 1787.
The Hall recalls the structure of Vicenza’s Palladian Olympic Theatre and includes a series of Ionic semi-columns and niches with statues of Galileo Galilei and Bonaventura Cavalieri.
In 1828 Giuseppe Marchesi replaced the original flat ceiling, which had been damaged in the earthquake of the same year, with the current shell covering. In addition, the originally rectangular windows were transformed into a sequence of lunettes.
Restoration of the Hall took place in 1999, on occasion of the bicentenary celebrations to mark the invention of the attery by Alessandro Volta (1799).
Aula Scarpa
The medical surgery/consulting room, designed in 1785 by Giuseppe Piermarini and concluded the following year by Leopold Pollak, is named after Antonio Scarpa, professor of Anatomy at the University of Pavia. Its semicircular layout is odeled on ancient theatres and the Palladian Olympic Theatre of Vicenza; there is a series of niches on the curved side ith marble busts of illustrious anatomists of Pavia such as Scarpa, Panizza, Zoia and Sala.
The horseshoe shaped auditorium is made entirely of wood. The benches and the teacher’s desk are divided, with separate access, according to the requirements for instruction in Anatomy.
Grotesque candelabra are painted on the gores of the umbrella ceiling (the original was a lacunar ceiling), alternating with winged figures holding some of the most important surgical instruments. Cippus and funeral vases complete the furnishings. The Aula Scarpa was restored in 1999.

Aula Foscolo
The rectangular-shaped Hall, designed by Giuseppe Piermarini and constructed in 1775, was destined to become the Assembly Hall of the Faculties of Medicine and Law. The pictorial decoration was initiated in 1782. On the ceiling, the figures of Mercury and Minerva are depicted and, on the walls, each faculty is individually represented. The decorative display of the Hall is completed by two large oil portraits, painted in Vienna in 1719, of the Empress Maria Teresa of Austria and her son Joseph II, both of whom were protagonists of the eighteenth century rebirth of the University of Pavia. The Hall underwent an initial restoration in 1927 on occasion of the centenary of the death of Ugo Foscolo, to whom it is dedicated. It was in the Aula Foscolo that, on the 22nd of January 1809, Foscolo, poet and professor of the University, delivered his famous inaugural speech “Of the origin and office of literature”. The Hall was again restored in 2000.
Aula Magna
Construction of the Hall began in 1843 and was concluded in 1850 according to the design of Giuseppe Piermarini. It tands on the grounds of the old oratory and the adjacent cemetery of S. Maurizio (Saint Maurice).
The internal plan is basilica style, with three aisles and two rows of large columns with Corinthian capitals. An enormous painting done by Trecourt, depicting King Vittorio Emanuele II, dominates the centre of the apse; on either side there are portraits of illustrious professors of the University.
On the exterior, the pronaos designed by Marchesi is modelled on the Greek temple and the tympanum presents a basrelief depicting the Rector Alessandro Volta in the act of conferring a degree. On the architrave, it is written: “Sollemnibus studiorum dictatum MDCCCL”.
The University of Pavia is among the universities that possess the most estensive Residence Hall system in Italy. The majority of its students are housed in its 15 Halls. The most ancient ones date back to 1564 (Collegio Borromeo) and 1567 (Collegio Ghislieri), while the two most recent ones (Collegio Maino and CollegioVolta) were founded in 2000. The Residence Halls are either male or female, catered or self-catered (with kitchens on each floor for student use). Most Halls admit both undergraduate and graduate students and places are offered for the academic year except for Christmas and Easter vacations.
Although all Residence Halls are bound by University Statutes, each of them has its own funding status. Some have an independent status and the majority of the Halls receive support from the regional educational authority.
The students of University of Pavia are not obliged to be members of any Residence Hall in order to gain admission to the university. The procedures for admission for Residence Halls can be found on the EDiSU website. However, Erasmus students are adviced to contact the Erasmus office and exchange students are adviced to contact the International Office. Special housing agencies like (see the section on Accommodation for Exchange Students below) or announcements posted on the university bulletin boards can be alternative solutions.

Research
Research Departments promote and co-ordinate research activity. As research entities, they embrace one or more research sectors, which, regardless of the membership of the individual teachers to different Faculties or Degree courses are homogeneous as regards goals, methods and subjects taught but often subdivided into Sections (Sezioni) in which groups of teachers with similar research and teaching profiles participate. Research Departments also plan research degrees, organise courses relating to them and take part in their teaching.
They are independent bodies with a Director (Direttore), an advisory council (Giunta), a governing body (Consigilio) which meets regularly to discuss and vote on policy matters and a Secretary’s Office (Segreteria), which, through the administrative and technical staff, implements the Department’s decisions in matters of services to teachers and students.
There are currently 49 Research Departments in the University of Pavia. Many of them are dedicated to distinguished professors as reflected in the Italian name. For the sake of simplicity, such dedications have been omitted in the English translation. A few Departments have websites in English and the user will find that, where possible, links have been created directly to this section of the websites of the Departments in question.
