A Legacy of Innovation: The University of Pisa
The University of Pisa blends centuries-old academic excellence, from Leonardo Fibonacci to Galileo Galilei and Enrico Fermi, with a pioneering spirit in scientific and technological advancement. A testament to this is its role in connecting Italy to the global Internet. On April 30, 1986, researchers at Pisa’s CNUCE (National University Center for Electronic Computing) sent a simple “ping” to the United States via ARPANET, receiving an “ok” in response. This marked Italy’s first Internet connection, making it one of the few Countries to join the emerging global network. This historic event underscores Pisa’s longstanding commitment to innovation and its significant contributions to the digital age.
