San Luigi Papal Theological Seminary of Southern Italy


The San Luigi Papal Theological Seminary of Southern Italy is an institution of higher learning in Naples, Italy. It is located prominently on via Petrarca in the Posillipo section of the city. The institute confers higher degrees in ecclesiastical studies and is in full communion with the Holy See.
The school took its present form in 1969 through a fusion of two university religious departments: the Neapolitan Theology Department of the University of Naples and the Jesuits' San Luigi Theology College. Other religious institutions in southern Italy have become affiliated since then, including the Theological Institute of Calabria and the Theological Institute of Puglia.
