Talk:Università per Stranieri di Perugia

message: 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". --Pixelmonkey 00:16, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I added Saddam Hussein to the list of notable alumni.  He is certainly notable and I have no doubt he was an alumnus.
I lived in Perugia for 3 years and studied at the Universita' per Stranieri.  For part of this time I lived with an Italian student called Paolo.  Paolo was studying a Public Relations course at the University.  As one of their assignments, they had to come up with a brief for the re-packaging of the University's image: logo, ethos, history, etc.  For the duration of this assignment the students were given unlimited access to the University's archives.  It was while delving around there that Paolo discovered that Saddam Hussein had studied at UpS in the late 1950's.  This was before well before his part in the 1968 coup that brought him to power in Iraq.
Saddam's biography shows that he joined the socialist Ba'ath Party in 1957, aged 20.  At that time Italy was a strongly socialist country and it is perfectly comprehensible that the Ba'athists wished to have members with the requisite language skills to build links with socialist comrades.
While UpS has not specifically verified SH's study at the University, this fact is mentioned in a guide book for new students that is distributed at the UpS itself.  I am a co-author of this book and can attest that while the University administration has at times taken issue with various things mentioned in the guide, they have never disputed Saddam Hussein having studied at the University.  As the University has nothing to gain from admitting to having had SH as a student - and possibly something to lose given that in hindsight it looks like an error of judgement - I do not expect them to do so publicly.

replies: text: Pardonnez-moi, Bilby5, but this information has a lot of weight and it must be carefully verified and evidence must be given about this. Can you reference a book, a newspaper article, or a link to an official page where the results of your colleague research are officially reported? Remember that Wikipedia does not contain (it must not contain!) original research: only documentable facts can be reported. Thus, when you can provide such an information in an affordable way, feel free to add SH and the reference. Thanks. --Cantalamessa 14:12, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Well, it is known that Ali Agca studied in Perugia , but for SH, honestly, it is a surprise to me. You can put back the information, if you want, by properly citing the source: I cannot check in now at Piazza Grimana. --Cantalamessa 19:40, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

message: "The university has, of course, been privatized since ..." Why "of course"? The reasons will not be obvious to the casual reader.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.185.201.194 (talk) 17:43, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
