Approximately 500 students. Highly selective admission via competitive concorso. Notable alumni: **Enrico Fermi (Physics Nobel 1938)** and **Carlo Rubbia (Physics Nobel 1984)** both studied here; many of modern Italian science and humanities leadership.

We list institutions whose accreditation we have verified against a recognized national or international accrediting body. Listing does not vouch for any specific program's recognition by destination-country regulators, individual admissions outcomes, or post-graduation credential transferability.
When you click through to a university's website, you are interacting with that institution's admissions process under their terms. Our responsibility ends at pointing you to a verified-accreditation institution.
