University Of Naples Walking Tour 👌 || Naples Italy

Описание: Hey everyone, welcome to the *University of Naples Federico II* walking tour!

This isn't just any university; it's a living piece of history right here in Naples, Italy.

*Founded in 1224 by Frederick II**, Holy Roman Emperor, it's one of the **oldest continuously operating universities globally* – and notably, Europe's **first public, non-sectarian university**. Imagine, it was created to train loyal administrators, not just religious scholars!

It officially became "Federico II" in **1987**, honoring its visionary founder.

Unlike modern campuses, Federico II is spread across Naples. Its departments are in historic buildings throughout the city.

**Notable alumni include Saint Thomas Aquinas**, who both studied and taught here, plus Italian presidents and even astronauts! It boasts Italy's first chairs in Genetics, Mechanics, and Political Economy.

As we walk, look for its architectural gems:

**Casa del Salvatore**: A 16th-century building, once a Jesuit college, now houses scientific museums. Check out the "Cortile del Salvatore."
*SS. Marcellino and Festo Building**: Home to Political Science. Admire the **Chiostro dei Santi Marcellino e Festo* and its unique staircase by Luigi Vanvitelli.
**Palazzo Corigliano**: In Piazza San Domenico Maggiore. Now the Asia, Africa, and Mediterranean Department. Don't miss the stunning Library of Asiatic Studies and the "Duke's Cabinet."

These buildings, along with others in central Naples, represent the university's rich historical core.

Federico II isn't just history; it's a vibrant hub for research and innovation today, with strong programs across sciences, technology, and humanities.

Keep an eye out for these historical markers as we continue. Each tells a story of centuries of learning. Enjoy the tour!
