About University of Bologna
The University of Bologna traditionally dates its founding to 1088 and is regarded as the oldest university in continuous operation in the Western world. It grew from independent schools of law, and in 1158 Emperor Frederick I's Constitutio Habita protected travelling scholars. It now operates as a multi-campus university with sites in Bologna, Cesena, Forlì, Ravenna and Rimini, and it gave its name to the Bologna Process for European higher education.
