Talk:Foreigners University of Perugia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Initial Draft
I wrote this stub. My first Wikipedia article, so be gentle ;-). I attended this school last year. It actually made me fluent in Italian in a mere two months after I had spent 1.5 years of study in the States, so I'm quite fond of the place and would like to write a complete article.
The history I listed here is taken from the University's website. I translated it myself, but then found out they have an English-language version of their description (they didn't a year ago, but their website has been changing). I added the note about Mussolini because almost every travel guide says that this school was really founded by Mussolini. I don't know if that's true--they probably just mean it was founded under him. However, I think it's fair to say the original purpose of the school was a bit of propaganda for Italy's "great culture."
Would appreciate any edits, or any discussion on the Talk page. I also didn't do a good job linking the article to other articles... I'll get to that eventually.
[edit] The Article Title May Be Wrong
Most guides actually refer to this university by a direct translation from Italian, that is, "The University for Foreigners at Perugia." This article was linked from the University of Perugia page, where there is a list of Italian universities.
I don't know how we can do redirects, but we probably need one for that, and also for the actual italian name, "L'Universita per Stranieri di Perugia".
