“Universa universis patavina libertas” (The freedom of the University of Padua is complete for all), this is the motto that has always characterised the University of Padua, and also the spirit of freedom of culture and expression that drove a group of students and professors to leave the University of Bologna for Padua. Thus, the University of Padua was not born ex privilege, thanks to a papal or emperor’s edict, but due to a favourable coincidence of factors: the massive transfer from Bologna of lecturers and professors on the one hand, and the benevolence and support of the Commune on the other. Although the study and research activity dates back many years earlier, 1222 is recognised as the foundation year: that year is in fact the first record of a regular university organisation.
