Art & Culture
Culture is identity, memory, and territorial cohesion, as well as a driver of development. It would be even better to speak of cultures, and thus of stories, places, and languages that must be preserved, enhanced, and shared.
On April 13, 1361, Emperor Charles IV of Habsburg officially founded the University of Pavia, one of the oldest in Italy. Over the centuries, renowned professors have walked through the doors of the university building, bustling with students from all over Europe.
The Castle and Square of Vigevano form an exceptional unified architectural and urban complex of the Italian Renaissance. The creation of the Castle, the Square, and the Villa saw the collaboration of some of the greatest artists of the Italian Renaissance, such as Bramante from Urbino and Leonardo da Vinci.
The museums across the entire provincial territory serve as hubs for a dynamic exchange of science and knowledge. They are ideal venues for fostering increasingly active public engagement, catering to diverse ages and interests.
