About Sapienza University of Rome

Founded in 1303 by Pope Boniface VII, the Sapienza University of Rome, is one of the oldest universities in Europe and among the largest universities worldwide. With more than 700 years of history, the Sapienza University is internationally recognized for its excellence in research, education, and innovation across a wide range of disciplines. 

The Sapienza University remained in the Palazzo della Sapienza, next to Piazza Navona, for centuries, until increasing student numbers and the expansion of scientific disciplines made the historic building no longer adequate. Today, the Sapienza University's Main Campus (Città Universitaria) is one of the most significant examples of twentieth-century university architecture in Europe.

The Sapienza current campus was inaugurated in 1935 and designed by the Italian architect Marcello Piacentini, who coordinated a team of leading architects and artists of the period. Conceived as a "city within the city". Its rationalist architecture, characterized by clean lines, geometric forms, and functional design, reflects the architectural ideals of its time while incorporating monumental elements that express the cultural importance of higher education.

At the heart of the campus stands the Rectorate Building, whose monumental entrance faces the iconic statue Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and the enduring symbol of the Sapienza University. Over the decades, the campus has continued to expand and adapt, while preserving its historical character.

The Main Campus is located in central Rome and hosts most of the university’s faculties and administrative buildings.
