THE UNIVERSITY
OF PAVIA

University of Pavia - Italy web.unipv.it
The University of Pavia is one of the world’s
oldest Academic Institutions.
It was founded in 825 as a “School of law,
rhetoric and liberal arts” by King Lothair I,
and in 1361 it was officially established as a
“Universitas Studiorum” by the Holy Roman
Emperor Charles IV.
Thanks to the reforms implemented during
the 18th century by the Empress Maria
Theresa of Austria and her son Joseph II,
the University of Pavia became one of the
foremost in Europe, boasting an impressive
number of famous Alumni, celebrated
Academicians and Nobel Prizes.
Nowadays the University of Pavia is an
Internationalisation-driven University which
participates in agreements with worldwide
esteemed institutions, an advanced
Research University which promotes
innovative interdisciplinary projects, and
a Job-oriented University which creates
powerful networks and strong business
chances.
The excellent Student-Faculty ratio
guarantees all students a personalised
Universitas
learning path and enhances the quality of
teaching and the overall University adventure.
Moreover Pavia, with 70.000 permanent
residents and over 26.000 students, is a
student-sized environment and has been a
Studiorum
City-Campus since its foundation, offering
the unique experience in Italy – and rare in
Europe – of living in one of the 21 University
Residences of the City.
Since 1361
With a wide variety of both Academic and
social opportunities, Pavia is the ideal place
to choose for studying and living abroad.

the Capital of the ancient Lombard Kingdom of Pavia, which is known for a variety of
agricultural products -including wine, rice,

Founded in Roman times, from 568 to 774
Pavia became the Capital of the Lombard

Monica Boggioni is a World Series Paralympic Champion (Tokyo 2020) in the 50m and 100m Free-
style and in the 150m Individual Medley. She’s attending the MSc in Biotechnology at the University
of Pavia.
How can you reconcile professional sports activity with studying?
It is not easy, but I am driven by the passion for both. Sport is my life, even though I also want to specia-
lize in Genetics. Therefore it does not matter how hard it is, but how much you strive to do it.
How did your passion for swimming originate?
Actually, I was forced to undertake this sport! I started swimming when I was a two-year-old child as a
form of therapy, since I suffer from spastic diplegia affecting my legs. Afterwards it turned into a pas-
sion. Then in 2013 Davide Bellingeri launched the project “Nuota con noi” (Swim with us) whose aim was
to create a Para swimming professional team in Pavia.
Apart from athletics, what do you expect in your future life?
I want to carry out research in Biotechnology in order to find treatments for undiagnosed diseases.26 27

University of Pavia - Italy web.unipv.it GRADUATION DAY
The Graduation Day is the largest event, ta-
king up the tradition of English and American
colleges, in which the University of Pavia ce-
lebrates its graduates. The ceremony, laun-
ched in 1991, is traditionally held on the first
Saturday of July and opens with the entran-
ce of the Academic parade in the Theresian
Courtyard, followed by the welcome address
of the Rector.
The main speech is given by successful Uni-
pv Alumni who have reached high professio-
nal achievements during their career.
First-class honors graduates then receive
the parchment directly from Faculty Presi-
dents and Department Directors, and Degree
Prizes are awarded. At the end of the Cere-
mony, refreshments are held in the historic
courtyards of the University.
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
The Alumni Association of the University of
Pavia was established in 2004, with the latin
motto “Meminisse Iuvabit” (meaning “One
day it will be pleasant to remember the cur-
rent events”). The purpose was to engage in
the same mission of already active Unipv As-
Alumni
sociations, such as A.L.E.P. (Economics Gra-
duates Association) and especially A.L.A.T.
(Graduates Association), which for decades
had animated the cultural and goliardic life
of the University.
Today the Alumni Association is aimed at
pursuing the following goals:
Encouraging the entry of young gra-
duates into the world of work, through
networking and the exchange of expe-
riences among members;
Providing exclusive services to its mem-
bers;
Contributing to the prestige of the Univer-
sity and its graduates, also through the
assignment of prizes and awards;
Collecting resources to support the
University’s research and development
projects;
Enhancing the historical, cultural and
scientific heritage of the University;
Promoting a sense of belonging within
the Academic community and spreading
the values that
inspire the University.30 31
