University of Rome La Sapienza is the most ancient university of Rome, Italy. In Italian, Sapienza means 'wisdom'.
La Sapienza was founded in 1303 by Pope Boniface VIII, as a Studium for ecclesiastical studies.
In 1431, Pope Eugenius IV introduces a new tax on wine, in order to raise funds for the university; the money is used to buy a palace next to St. Eusthachius, which will be later called "La Sapienza". In 1935, the new university campus is completed.
Currently, La Sapienza offers 21 faculties to its 147,000 students.
