University of Perugia

The University of Perugia is an Italian public university located in Perugia. It was formed in 1308, as evidenced by Pope Clement V's Bull recognizing the Studium Generale's birth.

Saint Herculan, one of the university's patron saints, and the rampant crowned griffin, the city emblem, are depicted on the institution's official seal; they represent the ecclesiastical and civil authorities, respectively, that gave origin to the university in the Middle Ages.
