Abstract

The University of Turin is located in the region of Piedmont in Italy. Officially founded in 1404, it is one of the oldest universities in the country. Its history is intricately connected to the social and political history of Piedmont, particularly after the capital of the Duchy of Savoy was transferred from Chambéry to Turin in 1563. In the early 19th century, when the region was ruled by Napoleon, the University of Turin became the second university of the French Empire and the governance of the University had to adapt to the French system. After Napoleon's defeat, and the eventual unification of Italy, Turin became the first capital city of the country.
