Sapienza University of Rome A BRIEF HISTORY Sapienza University of Rome was founded on 20 April 1303 by Pope Bonifacio VIII as Studium Urbis. In 1431 Pope Eugene IV reorganized the Studium including four faculties (Law, Medicine, Philosophy and Theology) and buying a palace which later, in 1959, housed the Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza church, a Borromini s baroque masterpiece. In 1808, the Faculties were Sacred Sciences, Law, Philosophy, Medicine and Surgery, Philology. In 1904 the Policlinico Umberto I was opened next to Stazione Termini, as an University hospital and headquarter of the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery. In 1935 the new university campus planned by Marcello Piacentini, close to Stazione Termini and Policlinico Umberto I, was completed International Office Pagina 2
