Founded in 1224 by Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II, the University of Naples Federico II is the OLDEST STATE-FUNDED (secular, non-religious) university in the world — Frederick II specifically designed it as a counterweight to the papally-chartered universities of his era. Approximately 76,000 students. Notable alumni: Thomas Aquinas (the great medieval philosopher and theologian, studied here 1239-1244 before joining the Dominican Order), Giordano Bruno (philosopher burned at the stake by the Roman Inquisition 1600 for cosmological views).
