The University of Naples is the third Italian university and was initiated in 1224 by Emperor Frederick II. It is known as one of the first universities to be founded by a secular ruler. Under his rule, he built the university to train judges and other administrators, and to give the people fundamental training. In this university, students began with the trivium – grammar, rhetoric, and logic.
NAPLES, Fla. (CNS) -- Tom Monaghan, founder of Domino's Pizza, is putting about $200 million toward the opening of a new Catholic university outside of Naples and building a town to go with it.
Construction has already begun on a seven-acre interim campus for the university in Naples, with classroom buildings, student and faculty residences, a campus chapel and an indoor-outdoor recreational facility, that will be ready for the fall of 2003.
The university is planning initially to have 650 students at the new campus and to grow to approximately 5,000 undergraduate and graduate students.
