Profile
Founded as a private university in 1506, Urbino has a distinguished academic reputation that draws visiting lecturers from throughout Italy. Its students comprise a majority of Urbino's population. Facilities are a blend of restored historic buildings and modern lecture halls and offices, including a student center beyond the city walls. Law, letters, science and education are the major emphases at Urbino, which also features the Istituto Statale d'Arte, specializing in engraving, lithography, animation and ceramics. Total enrollment: 22,000.
Location
Once an important political center and the home of many prominent figures in the Italian Renaissance, the historic walled city of Urbino sits in the mountains near the tiny Republic of San Marino. The birthplace of Raphael, its centerpiece is the 15th-century palace built by the Duke of Montefeltro. Located 30 miles west of the Adriatic beach towns, Urbino has in many ways retained its medieval character, with narrow, crooked streets lined by shops and overhanging apartments. The city is surrounded by picturesque vineyards, forests and mountain streams.
