History of the University of Palermo (Italian only) (http://archivi.beniculturali.it/divisione_III/Universit_Sicilia.html)
As there are not sufficient lecture halls on the main campus of the University of Palermo, the various colleges and departments rent local movie theatres for lectures, and have been doing so for years.
The University of Palermo still has some dedicated and gifted professors, but the main campus (in Viale delle Scienze), with certain large buildings still incomplete after a decade of interrupted construction due to politics and bureaucracy, and others in a poor state of repair, hardly seems an environment conducive to serious study.
The appointment situation at the University of Catania and Messina University is not much different, but at least the learning environment in those older institutions (PalermoUniversity was founded only in the nineteenth century) is more tranquil.
The Convent of St. Dominic of Palermo may be considered the nucleus of the future University of Palermo.
The royal concession was obtained and furthermore a contention arose between the rector of the college and the archbishop, each of whom desired to be chancellor; this controversy hindered the formation of the university itself, that is, of the two other faculties, law and medicine.
In 1777 the Senate of Palermo began to erect a complete university, which was established 1779 with three chairs in theology, four in law, six in medicine, seven in philosophy and the natural sciences.
