University of Bologna

From Freepedia

The University of Bologna (Università di Bologna, UNIBO) is the university of Bologna, in Italy. Its new name, since 2000, is Alma mater studiorum (Latin for "fostering mother of studies"), to remember it as the first university in the world. The university received a charter from Frederick I Barbarossa in 1158, but in the 19th century, a committee of historians led by Giosuè Carducci traced the birth of the University back to 1088. The University celebrated its 900th anniversary in 1988, making it arguably the longest-lived university in the Western world. The University of Bologna is historically notable for its teaching of canon and civil law.
