Naples is seat of the most important universities of South Italy.
Our University, Federico II, take its name of Frederick II Hohenstaufen, King of Sicily and Head of the Roman Empire that founded it in 1987. He decided to create a Studium (School) inside his reign to permit his subordinates to study without going away.
Faculty of Engineering comes from “Scuola di Applicazione per Ingegneri di Ponti e Strade” (Training school for Bridge & Road’s Engineers), founded in 1811. Two of its numerous departments have a prominent importance in aerospace field: DISIS (Department of Science and Space Engineering) and DPA (Department of Aeronautical Engineering). The DPA works from 1929, when it was founded by Gen. Prof. Umberto Nobile, famous designer, dirigible pilot and polar explorer. He was also the founder of the Institute for Aeronautical Constructions in 1926. This Institute became, in 1995, the Department of Science and Space Engineering (DISIS) "Luigi G. Napolitano”. The Department includes teaching and research activities of a large number of disciplines, with strong synergies with the three Aerospace research centers in Campania (CIRA, CORISTA, MARS).
Our association takes name of “Umberto Nobile” to remember this important figure.
