The University of Pavia ( Italian : Università degli Studi di Pavia , UNIPV or Università di Pavia ; Latin : Alma Ticinensis Universitas ) is a university located in Pavia , Lombardy , Italy . There was evidence of teaching as early as 1361, making it one of the oldest universities in the world. It was the sole university in Milan and the greater Lombardy region until the end of the 19th century. In 2022 the university was recognized by the Times Higher Education among the top 10 in Italy and among the 300 best in the world. Currently, it has 18 departments and 9 faculties. It does not have a main campus; its buildings and facilities are scattered around the city, which is in turn called "a city campus." The university caters to more than 20,000 students who come from Italy and all over the world.

2925-555: The university was the scene of intense student protests against Austrian rule in northern Italy (through the kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia ). The authorities responded by ordering the university's temporary closure. The incidents at Pavia were typical of the wave of nationalist demonstrations all over Italy that immediately preceded the Unification (1859–66). During the 19th century, the medical, natural science and mathematics schools were graced by prominent scientists who propelled
2990-650: The university's reputation was its distinguished record of public education, epitomized by the establishment of private and public colleges. The oldest colleges, the Collegio Borromeo and Collegio Ghislieri , were built in the 16th century, and in more recent times others were founded through both public and private initiatives — the Collegio Nuovo , the Collegio Santa Caterina and the other eleven colleges managed by EDiSU . In 1997

Several structures and phenomena in anatomy and physiology are named for him, including the Golgi apparatus , the Golgi tendon organ and the Golgi tendon reflex .

It was Golgi who helped him prove that malarial parasite was a microscopic protozoan . From 1885, Golgi studied the malarial parasite and its transmission. He established two types of malaria, tertian and quartan fevers caused by Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium malariae respectively. In 1886, he discovered that malarial fever ( paroxysm )

In 1412, Filippo Maria Visconti further consolidated

The center hosts a collection of writings and manuscripts from writers of the last two centuries including manuscripts and papers handwritten by
3640-410: Was irreligious in his later life and became an agnostic atheist. One of his former students attempted an unsuccessful deathbed conversion on him.

During the ongoing Italian War of 1521-6 , the authorities in Pavia were forced to close

Thus, Golgi presented the reticular theory which states that the brain is a single network of nerve fibres, and not of discrete cells. Although Golgi's earlier works between 1873 and 1885 clearly depicted the axonal connections of cerebellar cortex and olfactory bulb as independent of one another, his later works including

In 1361, the institution was officially established as a studium generale by the Holy Roman emperor Charles IV , who granted the same teaching privileges enjoyed by the University of Paris and Bologna , allowing the institution to teach canon and civil law, philosophy, medicine and liberal arts. It was then expanded and renovated by

Golgi modified his black reaction using osmium dichromate solution with which he stained the nerve cells ( Purkinje cells ) of the cerebellum of a barn owl. He noticed thread-like networks inside the cells and named them apparato reticolare interno (internal reticular apparatus). Recognising them to be unique cellular components, he presented his discovery before
