The University of Naples Parthenope is a State Research University in Naples, one of the most exciting cities in Italy. The University was founded in 1919 upon the request of Vice Admiral Leonardi Cattolica. Currently, the University’s system comprises four locations, mostly located in the city center and well connected by public transport: Headquarters, Pacanowski Palace, Centro Direzionale, and Villa Doria d’Angri. The main campus of the University is in the historical complex of the 16th century “Officine Della Real Fonderia,” close to the Maschio Angioino Castle (Castel Nuovo). Both the headquarters and the Pakanowski Palace are near Plebiscito Square and Toledo Street in the heart of the city.

The University of Naples Parthenope is well known for its institutional role of helping young students to develop their talent, offering undergraduate and master’s degree programs across seven departments and colleges: Management and Quantitative Studies, Business and Economic Studies, Economic and Legal Studies, Law, Engineering, Science and Technology, and Physical and Wellness Sciences. Jointly, they led significant growth in the Institute, from about 1,000 students in 1985 to about 16,000 today. The University’s core aims are the promotion, development, direct application, enhancement, and use of knowledge to contribute to the social, cultural, and economic development of society. Throughout the approximately one hundred years since the University's foundation, its most profound and characterizing feature has remained unchanged: the ability to interact with the current social context and to continuously engage with its evolving demands.
