“A very reputable university in Italy, always involved in researches and high quality projects. Usually venue of many international conferences and summer schools. I studied Business and Finance, and at the same time attended the language school to learn Italian. That was an unforgettable experience. The infrastructure and the libraries are top quality. I also loved the literature and all the materials they used at the courses. The city itself is splendid.”
