==Education==
Salerno hosted the oldest medical school in the world, the [[Schola Medica Salernitana|Scuola Medica Salernitana]], the most important source of medical knowledge in Europe in the early Middle Ages. It was closed in 1811 by [[Joachim Murat]].

In 1944 king [[Vittorio Emanuele III]] established Istituto Universitario di Magistero "[[Giovanni Cuomo]]". In 1968 the university became state-controlled.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.unisa.it/english/index |title=A short history of the university |website=unisa.it |access-date=8 May 2014 |archive-date=8 May 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140508193206/http://www.unisa.it/english/index |url-status=live }}</ref> Today [[University of Salerno]] is located in the neighboring town of [[Fisciano]] and has about 34,000 students<ref>{{cite web |url=http://anagrafe.miur.it/php5/home.php?&anni=2012-13&categorie=ateneo&status=iscritti&tipo_corso=TT&&order_by=i |title=Anagrafe Nazionale Studenti – Iscritti 2012/2013 |date=7 March 2014 |website=[[MIUR]] |language=it |access-date=8 May 2014 |archive-date=31 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190531190822/http://anagrafe.miur.it/php5/home.php |url-status=live }}</ref> and ten faculties: Arts and Philosophy, Economics, Education, Engineering, Foreign language and literature, Law, Mathematics, Physics and Natural Sciences, Medicine, Pharmacy and Political Science.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.unisa.it/english/faculties/facultiesandcourses |title=Course organization |website=unisa.it |access-date=8 May 2014 |archive-date=8 May 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140508162206/http://www.unisa.it/english/faculties/facultiesandcourses |url-status=live }}</ref>
