It's obviously critical to have a strong University system in place in order to ensure a country continues to advance in various disciplines.
Two such highly ranked and reputable schools are The Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa (which has embraced nano-technology studies) along with Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies make up the Pisa University system.
The list of notable alumni (which includes Andrea Bocelli, Enrico Fermi, and Galileo) is impressive.
