The University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli” is an Italian public medium-sized University founded in 1991 in Napoli for research and high education; it derived by splitting from the Università degli Studi di Napoli "Federico II" (established by the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire Frederick II on June 5, 1224) in order to relieve the pressure on the older university and improve the students/professors ratio. Currently, the University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli” is constituted by 18 Departments, which are involved in both research and education in the main fields of Psychology, Law, Political Sciences, Business Administration, Humanities, Engineering, Architecture, Medicine and Natural Sciences. The offered courses are attended by approximatively 23.000 students. Famous historic buildings are home to the University’s Schools, Departments, Centres and Administrative offices. Many of these buildings are also archaeological sites, such as the Department of Humanities and Cultural Heritage in Santa Maria Capua Vetere which stands on what once was a Roman Cryptoporticus and the Schools of Medicine which are located in the old City Centre of Naples. The Departments are located in Campania Italian region, mainly in the city of Napoli and in four other Italian towns, namely Aversa, Caserta, Santa Maria Capua Vetere and Capua. The Department of Psychology of the University of Campania is an internationally recognized research and didactic structure sited in Caserta (Italy).
