    "The University of Siena (...) is one of the oldest and first publicly funded universities in Italy. Originally called Studium Senese, the institution was founded in 1240." "Siena's campus is the city. ...thanks to the intervention of the University that many buildings which risked falling into ruin were saved, making institutions of study out of a part of the city patrimony that might have otherwise been lost. The Faculties of Engineering and Literature, for example, have found space for their departments in the large rooms of what was once the San Niccolò Psychiatric Hospital. The same holds true for the transformation of the former Convent of Santa Chiara"
