 Università degli Studi di Padova - History
It was during this period that Padua made its great contribution to the nascent scientific revolution, with developments in philosophical thought, in the study of medicine and anatomy and the great discoveries in astronomy, physics and mathematics that are linked with the eighteen-year period that Galileo Galilei taught at the university (from 1592 to 1610).
From the very beginning, Padua's reputation had attracted students from all over the continent, but this influx became particularly noteworthy in the sixteenth and seventeenth century, with people being attracted not only by the fame of the university's teachers but also by the spirit of tolerance that was guaranteed by the Venetian Republic.
The political role of the university was particularly apparent in the nineteenth century, when its professors and students took part in the local uprising of February 1848 against the Austrian occupation; and again in the First World War, Padua would find itself the centre of the zone of operations bordering on the Austrian Front.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Petrarch
For his era, he evinced an unusual love of nature by climbing Mont Ventoux (near Carpentras) in 1336, claiming that on the summit he opened Augustine’s Confessiones (397-401) and was thus inspired to turn his eyes from mountaineering to his inner life (Epistolae IV, letter 1).
Although none of his works was yet finished, he had grown sufficiently famous to receive two invitations to be crowned poet laureate on the very same day (4/8/1341), one from Paris University, the other from the Roman Senate.
After he returned from France in 1353, Petrarch decided to stay with the Visconti dynasty in Milano for the next eight years, changing between contemplative withdrawal and diplomatic missions, traveling in the service of his duke at whose courts he found protection, reputation, and patronage.

 Faculty of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine at Edinburgh
In the second half of the sixteenth century the University of Padua in northern Italy, inland from Venice, had become the great Renaissance centre for the study of medicine, based on its teaching of Anatomy and its Physic Garden.
Intellectual freedom was guaranteed by the civic authorities, counterbalancing the constraints of a Catholic society, with the medical disciplines part of a great liberal university (with Galileo Galilei amongst its other teachers) and linked to clinical teaching in the neighbouring hospital.
Anatomy, based on actual dissection of the human body under pioneering scholars such as Andreas Vesalius, was the essential prerequisite for surgery; the cultivation of ‘simples’ in the Physic Garden the basis for studies in chemistry, pharmacy and medicine.

A model of electromotive was signaled in 1930 in the Physics Institute of Siena University, instrument that Zamboni had dedicated to Ferdinand II king of Etruria and constructed by Charles Streizig in 1816.
The interests about electrical phenomena beared also to perform an universal apparatus to measure the electrodynamic attractions and repulsions between electric and magnetic currents that is the force between currents when changing of a magnetic field, or a magneto-electric micrometer.
One of the best realizations was a universal dynamical very sensitive electroscope, that improved that one of Nobili and able to measure induction currents, based on a coil crossed by a changing current, hinged but free to move on an axis (in a different way of the use of that time).
