University of Salerno, Italy

"From the 10th to the 12th century, the licensing documents awarded by the universities of Paris, Bologna and Salerno were recognized universally and allowed the holder to learn Ubique locorum ac per universum terrarum orbem, a privilege that did not apply to other universities."
Léo Moulin (Student life in the Middle Ages)
 
The University of Salerno has a very ancient background, since it is one of the oldest universities in Europe, together with Paris and Bologna.
The Salerno Medical School was founded in the 8th century and was the main institution in Europe to study medicine, achieving its splendor in the Middle Ages. The school has become a huge step forward in the development of medical science and is easily mounted in the city of Salerno, which flourished economically and culturally, since it was part of Magna Graecia.

The university remained active until 1811, when it was closed by a royal decree under the leadership of Napoleon Joachim Murat. In 1944, the university was reopened by King Vittorio Emanuel III, and the Institute of Universitario di Magistero "Giovanni Cuomo" was founded, which was controlled by the state in 1968 as Fasolto di Magistero from the University of Salerno.
Within a few years other faculties were established, which formed the basis of an important university.
 
In 1988, the university, which now has more than 40,000 students, moved to the village of Fisano in the valley of Irno, a few miles from Salerno. Its structure is a campus, and its modern buildings offer many effective services for teaching, research and student life in general.
The University of Salerno, one of the largest in southern Italy, is still growing. The presence of multimedia facilities, a modern library, as well as places for meetings and catering, as well as green spaces make it an excellent university college and a pleasant place to study.
